Depression of the central nervous system (CNS) caused by substances like alcohol or certain medications can decrease respiratory drive. This can result in shallow breathing or even respiratory failure if it becomes severe.
Excessive CNS depression refers to a condition where the central nervous system is overly subdued, leading to symptoms such as drowsiness, confusion, impaired coordination, and, in severe cases, respiratory depression and coma. This can be caused by the use of certain medications, substances, or medical conditions, and requires prompt medical attention.

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is not considered part of the central nervous system (CNS), which consists of the brain and spinal cord. Instead, the ANS is a component of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and regulates involuntary functions such as heart rate, digestion, and respiratory rate. The ANS operates autonomously and is divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, which work together to maintain homeostasis in the body.
Afferent neurons receive and transmit impulses to the CNS.
CNS is an acronym for Central Nervous System, thus they are the same thing.
Anti-anxiety drugs are CNS depressants. What happens with these types of drugs is that heart rate decreases, BP decreases consequently respiration decrease as well, and If a patient has a problem or history of asthma or any airway disease this medication could cause respiratory depression.
They don't. The CNS, muscular, and skeletal systems do.
Its blocked. Which has little secondary effect on the respiratory system (it can get along without oxygen for an hour or two), but can damage the CNS in under 5 minutes.
Most of the time, the death is caused by respiratory depression. Opiates (pain killers) cause central nervous system (CNS) depression, which, if depressed enough, starts to shut down the respiratory center within the brain stem = you stop breathing.GABA agonists (Ambien, benzodiazepines and other sedating meds) cause CNS depression as well. But some, like benzos, also have skeletal muscle relaxant properties as well that can cause the diaphragm (a skeletal muscle), and other breathing muscles, to be unable to contract enough to properly move air in and out of the lungs.Another problem is not overdose per se, but a combination of prescription medications and alcohol. The issue is alcohol is a CNS depressant as well. When you combine alcohol with opiates and/or sedatives, you amplify the risk of respiratory depression.I hope this answers your question.
consult your doctor! many factors will determine safety of these two meds together & a doctor or pharmacist are the most capable of assessing them. there are moderate interactions, mainly being cns & respiratory depression. obviously, no driving or drinking while on either of these medications.
Ethanol is a CNS and respiratory depressant. It's not really a "mood enhancer", though it can relax inhibitions so that people show their moods more readily.

Oxygen is very sparingly soluble. Carbon dioxide is highly soluble in water or plasma. The respiratory center is stimulated by high level of the carbon dioxide. The respiratory center probably does not analyse the oxygen level.
