Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Morphine-sensitive receptors in the limbic system are responsible for the euphoric aspect of the heroin experience. While heroin can also have analgesic effects (A), it is the opioid receptors in the spinal cord and brainstem that are responsible for this action. Constipation and intestinal slowing (B) are side effects of opioid use, but they do not account for the overall experience of using heroin. Respiratory distress (D) is also a potential adverse effect of opioids but is not typically considered part of the subjective experience of using the drug.
