Morphine Mechanism of action:Opioids cause hyperpolarization of nerve cells, inhibition of nerve firing,and presynaptic inhibition of transmitter release
Morphine ◼ Mechanism of action: Opioids cause hyperpolarization of nerve cells, inhibition of nerve firing, and presynaptic inhibition of transmitter release
Actions Analgesia:Morphine causes analgesia (relief of pain without the loss of consciousness).Opioids relieve pain both by raising the pain threshold at the spinal cord level,and more importantly, by altering the brain's perception of pain
