What is the organelle that functions to detoxify drugs and alcohol and synthesis of proteins?
The organelle you are referring to is the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER). It plays a key role in detoxifying harmful substances like drugs and alcohol through enzymes, as well as in synthesizing lipids and proteins. The smooth ER lacks ribosomes on its surface, unlike the rough endoplasmic reticulum, which is involved in protein synthesis.
Alcohol and other drugs affect the nerve cells within the brain A True B False?
True. Alcohol and other drugs can affect nerve cells in the brain by interfering with neurotransmitter function, altering communication between neurons, and impacting decision-making, behavior, and emotions. This can lead to both short-term and long-term changes in brain function.
Are brain cells damaged with drugs?
Alcohol is the main drug which damages and kills brain cells. Marijuana on the other hand is neuroprotective, and prevents damage to brain cells. One study showed that cannabis protects against the damage caused by binge drinking.
How does the Smooth ER detoxify drugs?
Smooth ER of hepatocytes (liver cells) is the site of the cytochrome p450 family of proteins. The CYP450 containing systems are responsible for phase I drug metabolism. Phase I drug metabolism is quite complex and is usually covered in university pharmacology courses. However simply put it can lead to the activation or deactivation of hydrophobic drugs and toxins.
Is alchohol a substance or element?
Alcohol is a substance as with any other drugs legal or illegal.
What are the effect of drugs or alcohol on the digestive system?

How do brain cells repair after an addict stops using alcohol and drugs?

Alcohol and other drugs affect the nerve cells within the brain.?
Drinking alcohol, even in excessive amounts, does not kill brain cells. However, alcohol slows our reactions, respiration, heart rate, etc.
What damage can cirrhosis do to the body?
The liver cannot detoxify the toxins , drugs in the body.
What are 3 drugs in alcohol?
There are no drugs in alcohol.
What uses oxygen to detoxify harmful substances?
Cytochrome P450 enzymes in the liver use oxygen to detoxify harmful substances by oxidizing them into less toxic forms. These enzymes are crucial in the metabolism and elimination of various drugs, toxins, and other foreign compounds from the body.
Alcohol and drugs in 1920s?
Yes, there was alcohol and drugs in the 1920s.

Why does alcohol abuse increase tolerance to other drugs such as barbiturates?
This should answer your question: Enzymes of the smooth ER help detoxify drugs and poisons, especially in liver cells. Detoxification usually involves adding hydroxyl groups to drugs, making them more soluble and easier to flush from the body. The sedative phenobarbital and other barbiturates are examples of drugs metabolized in the manner by smooth ER in liver cells. In fact, barbiturates, alcohol, and many other drugs induce the proliferation of the smooth ER and its associated detoxification enzymes. This, in turn, increases tolerance to the drugs, meaning that higher doses are required to achieve a particular affect, such as sedation. Also, because some other the detoxification enzymes have relatively broad action, the proliferation of the smooth ER in response to one drug can increase tolerance to other drugs as well. Barbiturate abuse, for example, may decrease the effectiveness of certain antibiotics and other useful drugs.
What decompose fatty acids and detoxify alcohol free radicals and other drugs?
The liver is primarily responsible for decomposing fatty acids, detoxifying alcohol, free radicals, and other drugs through a process called metabolism. This involves breaking down these substances into simpler forms that can be eliminated from the body. Specialized enzymes and biochemical pathways in the liver facilitate these detoxification processes.
What are the drug interactions associated with eucalyptus?
Eucalyptus works to detoxify the body. If it is used simultaneously with other drugs, the effects of those drugs may be weakened.
