Peirce, in comprehensive clinical psychology, 1998. Different types of signaling are used for different purposes. These signals are typically chemical messengers which bind to a receptor and cause some form of cellulartissue response, e. Receptors largely determine the quantitative relations between dose or concentration of drug and pharmacologic effects. Results from nidafunded research have shown that prevention programs involving families, schools, communities, and the media are effective in reducing drug abuse. As a result, they cause the human body to react in a. Receptors are responsible for the selectivity of the drug function.
Once heroin enters the brain, it is converted to morphine and binds rapidly to opioid receptors. An agent which activates a receptor to produce an effect similar to that of the physiological signal molecule. Drug receptors have several distinctive properties. There are many types of neurotransmitters, and each one carries a specific message. A drug that binds to a receptor and produces a biological response is an agonist. These receptors act through both ligandgated channel and also enzyme linked pathways. Of course, there are other cholinergic receptors, such as those located in the central nervous system cns and in sweat glands innervated by the sympathetic nervous system. Longterm use of heroin can decrease the number of receptors and their sensitivity to the drug, so that users must use more and.
