How does morphine effect the human body?

Answer 1

well i think that the body is used to morphine now and is addicted and you don't want it to be jfhs ajf Some people have been on small doses of morphine for years and have led a relatively healthy life. However, it is addictive as you know and there comes a time when a little isn't enough. It's hard on the heart, kidneys and liver, not to mention damaging brain cells.

Answer 2

Morphine was discovered in 1803 by a company called Sertürner and was originally thought to cure opium and alcohol addiction.

It was later found to be more addictive than either. It has been used as a strong pain relief ever since. It can be administered by both needle and taken as a tablet.

Morphine once absorbed in the body goes to the skeletal muscle, kidneys, liver, intestinal tract, lungs, spleen, and brain. With a morphine tablet only 5 percent of morphine is demehylate and therefore, the morphine-3-glucuronide is found in highest concentration in the blood after the pill is taken. Thirty minutes after taking the pill, 50% of the tablet will reach our central compartment. Also, the terminal elimination half-life when the morphine is in our system is approximately 2-4 hours. The elimination of morphine happens by renal elimination. Morphine causes analgesic effects on the body including sleepiness and anti-anxiety. We have receptors in our body which receives morphine and the morphine works to depress our respiratory lungs and reduces responsiveness in the brain stem and increases carbon dioxide. Morphine always constricts the pupils unless hypoxia, or a person using the drug has a low oxygen than the pupils will dilolate. Furthermore, morhpine effects the digestive tract by slowing down digestion within the atrum of the stomach and small intestine. The delayed contractions in the stomach and small intestine cause constipation. Also, within the cardiovascular system vasodilation occurs which may result in orthostatic hypotension, or when our heart, brain and other organs aren't getting enough oxygen resulting in flushing, sweating, and red eyes. Orthostatic hyotension may be life-threatening if not taken care of.
