well the central nervous system is  the most complicated system in our body  and more than 90% of the reactions happening in it are chemical reactions and they are divided into intracellular chemical reactions and inter cellular chemical reactions and so every single chemical substance has so many complicated different functions in different parts of the brain and that's why drugs used intreating neurological diseases have so many adverse effects one common group of chemicals acting on the brain are neurotransmitters like DOPAMINE, ACETYLCHOLINE, SEROTONIN GABA, NOR-EPINEPHRINE EPINEPHRINE, NITROGINOXIDE  5-HT ,MELATONIN , GLUTAMATE ,GLYCINE , ASPARTATE ,HOMOCYSTEATE ,PROLACTINE SUBSTANCE P, AND THE OPIOID LIKE SYSTEM ....................... and so many others\nif you need to know anything more or anything more specific about any of these chemicals or any other chemical feel free to contact me by e-mail

Your brain is the most important organ in your body, and also it's particularly helpful for school. When you concentrate your brain will use 20% of the glucose in your body. You therefore need to get out of bed early so that you can A) wake up your brain, and B) feed your body which will allow for the intake of glucose to your brain when you need it.....

If you ate a lot of something that has sulfa or sulfur dioxide as an ingredient, it can cause stomach ache and egg burps.

bad smells stimulate the higher corticle centres of our brains to send signals via acetylcholine neurotransmitters to the vomiting centre in our medulla (brain stem). thus stimulating the stomach, abdominal muscles, and oesphagous to intitate the vomiting relfex via efferent pathways.\n\nhahha.. just nerding.. i have an exam tmr on this. =p

The liver puts some compounds into the bile, which is dumped into the gut and excreted in the stool.\n\nThe lungs exhale things that can go into gas phase from the blood stream into the alveoli--like the sulfenic acid derivatives that make garlic and onions cause your breath to smell wretched.\n\nSkin does its excretion by putting material into your sweat.\n\nNote that the liver, the kidneys, the skin and even body fat also metabolically modify things (chemically alter them), which not only deactivates them (or in some cases, activates them) but also makes them more easily excreted by the liver or the kidney, which are the primary systems that get rid of such things.\n\nThat help?

It is not a chemical answer.  It is Biological Chemistry, or the chemistry of a living creature.  It is caused by a surge of adrenaline released by the Pituitary Gland in your brain.

The people who thought you were stupid, would KNOW you are stupid if you do it.\n\nWish I knew the details of the effects to help you.  I'm pretty sure that it destroys brain cells and thus causing brain damage.\n\nI guess that means that if you weren't stupid before sniffing, you would be after sniffing.\n\nBest Wishes,\n\nSue

You stimulate and strengthen the mind by using it - reading, even doing crossword puzzles.\n\nMore than any vitamin, the mind needs protein.  Some amino acids (components of protein) are especially useful, such as tryptophan which is used to make serotonin (keeps your mind from chattering all the time).  \n\nSome vitamins, like D that you make when you are out in the sunshine, help keep your body calm and your mind focused.\n\nWe don't make any new brain cells, and we do lose them as we get older.  Fortunately, we only use such a small portion of our brain, that we never miss the lost cells.

The area of the brain that is responsible for thought processes is gray in color the cerebrum hence gray matter

Lead acetate (lead(II) ethanoate) is used to detect the presence of hydrogen sulphide, H2S. A strip of paper is soaked in the solution, and held in the stream of the (smelly) gas. If the paper turns black (with lead sulphide, PbS) then hydrogen sulphide was present.\n\nPb2+ + H2S ---> PbS + 2H+\n\nThis used to be frequently done in UK schools, but no longer.

It's not that it actually does damage to the nose except that it can cause burning and irritation.  What it actually does is causes a chemical high.  Therefore it can become addictive and also kill brain cells. This  can also be called huffing.  It is dangerous.  It can cause people to pass out, cause brain damage and possibly death.

this is the best i found!\ninteresting discussions.\nApparently, the brain is short of oxygen and looses its functional ability.what really happens: you will have to check out the websites and see!\nthe first link takes you to other various links on this matter.\nthe second link gives detailed diagrams with explanations.

When you slice through an onion, you break open a number of onion cells. Some of these cells have enzymes inside of them, and when they are sliced open, the enzymes escape. The enzymes then decompose some of the other substances that have escaped from sliced cells. Some of these substances, amino acid sulfoxides, form sulfenic acids, which then quickly rearrange themselves into a volatile gas. \n\nThe gas reaches your eyes and reacts with the water that keeps them moist. This changes the chemical's form again, producing, among other things, a mild sulfuric acid, which irritates the eyes. The nerve endings in your eyes are very sensitive and so they pick up on this irritation (this is why our eyes sting when we slice onions). The brain reacts by telling your tear ducts to produce more water, to dilute the irritating acid so the eyes are protected.

Your nose encounteres a smell. The olfactory nerves are stimulated and send an impule to the brain. Your brain intereprets this signal and then responds. In some cases,using motor neurons to move you away from the source of the odor.

The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is located within the ventricles, spinal canal, and subarachnoid spaces. The principle source of CSF are the choroid plexi of the lateral, third and fourth ventricles (Figure 6), and the volume varies between 10-20% of brain weight (Bradbury, 1979). The volume of CSF in humans is 140-150 ml, only 30-40 ml actually in the ventricular system, with a production rate of 21 ml/hr. The turnover rate of total CSF is species dependent and varies between approximately 1 hr for rat and 5 hr for human (Davson and Segal, 1996). The majority of the CSF is in the subarachnoid space, where the arachnoid membranes bridge the sulci of the brain, in the basal cisterns and around the spinal cord. CSF moves within the ventricles and subarachnoid spaces under the influence of hydrostatic pressure generated by it production. CSF cushions the brain, regulates brain extracellular fluid, allows for distribution of neuroactive substances, and is the "sink" that collects the waste products produced by the brain.\n\nConcentration of most molecules is greater in the brain than in the CSF, creating a physiological gradient between the two compartments. The continuous flow of CSF through the ventricular system and out over the surface of the brain provides a "sink" that reduces the steady-state concentration of a molecule penetrating into the brain and CSF (Davson et al., 1961). This "sink" effect is greater the slower a molecule moves, which makes it particularly important for lipid-insoluble molecules of large molecular radius (Davson and Segal, 1996). Few drugs gain entry into the brain via CSF uptake due to the bulk flow movement. However, azidothymidine (AZT) enters the brain through rapid distribution into the CSF and subsequent transport at the CSF-barrier via a thymidine transporter (i.e. pyrimidine nucleoside carrier) (Wu et al., 1992), such a transport is not present at the BBB (Cornford and Oldendorf, 1975).
