TOXICITY OF NERVOUS SYSTEM

Toxicity of nervous system is called

neurotoxicity
“Natural and artificial toxic substances alter
normal activity of the nervous system in such a
way as to cause damage to nervous system”
CONT….
 Cup syrup relax our brain, but it have many other effects
that was insidious.
 Metabolic poison (e.g. Cyanide) disrupt cellular
respiration, which ultimately prevents the brain from
getting sufficient oxygen and energy.
 Nerve Agents, Nerve Gases are class of organic
chemicals that disrupt the mechanism by which nerve
transfer messages to organs. They cause blockage of
acetylcholine esterase is enzyme that is used for
breakdown of acetylcholine.
IMMUNE SYSTEM TOXICITY
 Pollens in air: When pollen enter in our body our body
recognize it as a antigen and form antibodies that will
bind with basophils and form antibodies basophils
complex when this complex react with allergens it cause
basophils to burst/split which cause release of histamine.
 Secretions of different fungi.
 Bacterial action.
 Infections causes immune system affected.
ENVIRONMENTAL TOXINS
 Those toxins which are produces and then get
exposed to the “environment”.
 Study of environmental toxins is known as
environmental toxicology.
 Environmental toxicology is defined as “The
study of fats and effect of chemicals, biological in
the environment.
