Narco- (Narco-)

Narco - (Narco) is a prefix that is used to denote anesthesia, confusion and stupor. It comes from the Latin word “narcōsus”, which means “intoxicating”.

Anesthesia is a state of artificial sleep that is caused by the use of narcotic substances such as opiates, barbiturates and benzodiazepines. It is used to relieve pain and calm the patient before surgery or other medical procedures.

Stupidity is a condition in which a person loses the ability to be aware of himself and the surrounding reality. It can be caused by various reasons, including anesthesia, stroke, epilepsy and other diseases.

Stupor is a state of immobility and lethargy that occurs in a person during anesthesia or other medical procedures. Stupor can last from several minutes to several hours and usually goes away after the end of anesthesia.

Thus, the prefix “Narco-” is used to denote various conditions associated with anesthesia and stupefaction. It is an important term in medicine and is used to describe various medical procedures and conditions.

Narcotics are psychoactive substances that have a specific effect on the functioning of the central nervous system (CNS). Their use can be associated with various purposes, such as pain relief, depression of the nervous system, alteration of the state of consciousness or enhancement of mood. If a person uses a drug for pleasure or to escape reality, it is usually considered substance abuse. In general, substance abuse is a serious disease that has negative consequences on a person's physical and mental health. This article is devoted to a description of the terms and concepts associated with drug use and addiction, as well as their impact on human health.

Narcotics are substances of plant or synthetic origin that cause changes in the functioning of the central nervous system. They can be classified as drugs (medicinal substances) or as more dangerous or even deadly poisons. The term "narcotics" is generally used to refer to plant substances derived from various plants or plant parts, including fungi and lichens. Synthetic drugs are commonly referred to as narcotic drugs—mostly opioids, synthetic cannabinoids, and other chemical compounds.

Normal human reactions to external factors are determined by nervous reactions. In a state of anesthesia, pain impulses that cause muscles to contract are perceived less and the muscles relax, so it takes time to restore consciousness after anesthesia. Narcotic drugs include barbiturates, benzodiazepines, amphetamines, tranquilizers, opiates and others. All these substances have different mechanisms of action and different forms of application. The active substance of the drugs acts on various receptors of the central nervous system. This effect may go away after the drug stops working. Dependence on drugs develops in people who are prone to forming a painful addiction. Moreover
