Expert Solution
Introduction

25. Opiates or narcotics are drugs that bind to opioid receptors of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) to block pain perception and exert analgesic (pain relieving) effects.

Codeine, heroin, and morphine are few examples of opiates. They are also used to provide analgesia in the practice of anesthesia.
