Question
Chapter 28, Problem 28.76AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The similarity of action of THC of marijuana to cocaine and heroin has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Neurotransmitters: Neurotransmitters are chemicals that transmit messages from the nervous system to the target cell. They are the chemical messagers where the electrical signal from the nervous system is travelled from one neuron to another to reach the target cell.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter has a key role in the brain. It is required for many processes such as emotional response, controlling of movements and experiencing pain and pleasure.
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the ingredient which is most active in marijuana.
