Alcohol: Diuretic Manufacture

The pathophysiology of alcoholism begins after alcohol the ingestion of alcohol. It is absorbed and unaltered through the stomach and intestines. Next it is distributed throughout the body through the blood and absorbed by all tissues and fluids (Huether, 2012, p. 72). Furthermore, in the liver the alcohol blood content is metabolized into acetaldehyde by the enzymes process of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), the microsomal ethanol oxidizing system (MEOS), and catalase (Huether & McCance, 2012). Next, the metabolizing effects the central nervous system (CNS) and exhibits a depressant action. It is first expressed in the subcortical structures of the brain. This has an effect of disorientation of motor skills and intellect. With an increase in blood alcohol concentration, the medullary centers become depressed and as a result affects respiration (Huether & McCance, 2012). In addition, the effects of alcoholism encourage hepatic and gastric changes. The hepatic effect is caused by acetaldehyde, in which, induces inflammation, fatty deposits and enlargement of the liver (Huether & McCance, 2012).

The pathophysiology of Alcohol affects virtually every organ system in the body. Therefore, consuming to much alcohol in high

The liver is next to be severely impacted by alcohol. The liver is fundamental to the process of maintaining a healthy system. “The liver stores vital energy and nutrients, manufactures proteins and enzymes necessary for good health, protects the body from disease, and breaks down and helps remove harmful toxins, like alcohol, from the body.” (Sutton, 2007) If the liver becomes damaged, the person will develop muscle cramps, fatigue, jaundice, and even reduced brain function due to unfiltered toxins in the blood stream.

Immersing Daphnia in the ethanol indicated an increase in the heart rate. This relates to the fact that alcohol can have a big impact in the live of humans. Since the cross sectional part of the heart relates to that of humans. The increase in the heart rate enabled me to understand more about the how the increase in the heart rate when ethanol (Alcohol) is present in the body it can affect one's blood pressure [1]. In contrast, high blood pressure is somewhat indicates how one’s heart is beating really fast. This means that at as the heart is pumping blood through the vein and arteries in the body. The force the heart is using to pump the blood through the artery walls can cause a tear or damage of the arteries which can lead to death. Furthermore,

Cardiovascular system consists of Heart and blood vessels. Blood vessels carrying nutrients and other material and delivers them to organs in the body. Alcohol could be one of the material which is absorbed from digestive system in body and carry into the blood stream. Alcohol can affect the cardio vascular system by many ways. Since we drink the alcohol, it can cause the short-term Hypertension (which is high blood pressure), and Tachycardia (which is high heart rate). On the other hand, drinking lot of alcohol in long term may cause sever cardiovascular disease and in some cases, it may even be causing death. Some of the diseases are: Heart attack, Stroke. Heart is pumping oxygenated blood to the whole body, but the heart muscle itself needs

Ethanol, the alcohol found in alcoholic beverages, has a wide range of effects. Unlike many drugs, ethanol does not have a specific area of the brain in which it exerts its effects. For this reason, ethanol has a large diversity of symptoms and varying effects among individuals. In general, it binds with and alters the function of voltage gated ion channels. Typically ethanol inhibits neurons directly or stimulates the release of inhibitor neurotransmitters. Ethanol may have undesirable side effects such as deficits in cognitive ability and long-term brain damaged if used frequently.

Alcohol is a depressant drug; it slows the activity of the brain and the spinal cord. Beer, ale, wine, and hard liquor

The effects associated with alcohol are produced by the ethanol in the alcohol. The severity of these effects is reflected by the concentration of alcohol in an individual’s blood, which is dictated by the amount of alcohol ingested, the volume of blood, the individual’s metabolism, and amount of time since ingestion. In large doses, alcohol acts as a depressant of the central nervous-system. A blood alcohol level of 0.1% affects some of the motor areas of the brain associated with speech, balance and manual dexterity. A blood alcohol level of 0.2% depresses all motor functions and the area concerned with emotions is depressed. At a blood alcohol level of 0.45% the entire section of the brain that handles perception is depressed and the individual becomes comatose. At a blood alcohol level of 0.7% the parts of the brain that control the heartbeat and breathing are depressed and the individual

One of the alcohol’s effect on the major organ systems in the body is that alcohol affects the gastrointestinal system in a variety of ways. This system is the route by which alcohol enters the body and is absorbed. It is where the first steps of metabolism take place. Moderate amounts of alcohol can disturb the normal functioning of this system. Chronic heavy use of alcohol often raises havoc. Alcohol can have both direct and indirect effects. Direct effects occur as a consequence of the initial, direct effects. In addition, both acute and chronic use of alcohol stimulates the stomach lining’s secretion of hydrochloric acid and irritates the lining of the gut in general. It also inhibits the muscular contractions, called peristalsis, that

Alcohol is a drug classified as a depressant, ethanol alcohol is found only in beverages such as beer, wine, liquor, etc. The effect depends on the amount of alcohol a person consumes, when a person consumes more than what they are supposed to them can experience nausea, loss of balance, dizziness, blackout, inability to drive or to think wisely, they lose control of themselves and are not aware of the danger they may be in. After the person is no longer intoxicated the effects they experience is a hangover, and feelings of sadness or guilty. Those with alcoholism problems become physical and emotional dependence on alcohol and experience problems with speech, health problems like depression, cancer, or liver damage. Alcohol in general can affect a person’s life in many ways, it can affect not only the person who consumes it but their family, friends and the community they live in.

The people doing the research actually watched their blood pressure climax up from one, two, and three in the charting. They were so surprised it went up immediately. They also did a study on men and saw their diastolic number, which is bottom number go up from consuming forty grams of alcohol per day. The women's blood pressure, after consuming three and a half grams of alcohol, raised up for their systolic number, which is the top number and the diastolic number which again is the bottom number. The blood pressure will be high from drinking a lot of alcohol in a day or even in a couple of days. Drinking alcohol causes hypertension, which is high blood pressure. It can also cause strokes and possible death, because it messes with the overall blood flow.

Large consumptions of alcohol effects the organs in the body. The heart is one of the body organs that may be a victim of daily alcohol consumption. Drinking a lot of alcohol have a long-term effect on the body; it makes that person at risk for problems such as Cardiomyopathy which is when the heart muscle becomes enlarged, thick, or rigid. As cardiomyopathy worsens, the heart becomes weaker which can also easily be defined as Stretching and drooping of heart muscle, Arrhythmias – Irregular heartbeat, Stroke and High blood pressure. (Alcoholism, n.d.).the consumption of alcohol effects on the heart may also have some Short-Term effects. When your first consumption of alcohol, according to the American

For motor skills part, there are two factors to analysis, which include muscle control: leg muscles and heart muscles; eyesight effect by the alcohol consumption. An organization which is named Narconon Reviews (2013) claimed that motor-skills are those functions that muscles, hand, feet, etc work together. They are always executing specific actions, such as walking/running, driving a car, picking up an object/moving it. Motor skills also connect with sensory channels. These channels include sight, sound, touch, smell and even tastes. If an independent drinks alcohol, one of the channels will be limited.

Pre-existing health conditions can worsen with the smallest amount of alcohol; the reason is the interactions between the medications or treatments.

Ethyl alcohol is the ingredient in liquor, beer, champagne, and wine that is intoxicating when ingested into the body. Ethyl alcohol is combined with different ingredients such as sugar, starches, and yeast to produce the appealing taste. Alcohol acts as a depressant that affects the central nervous system (Andrews, 2011). Liquor, beer, and wine are liquid substances that’s ingested through the mouth into the abdomen and filtered down through the bloodstream. Alcohol is metabolized in the liver by enzymes; however, the liver can only metabolize a small amount of alcohol at a time, leaving the remainder of the alcohol to circulate throughout the body (Levy, 2010). Alcohol dependence and alcohol abuse are often confused for being one in the same
