NURSING ANM AND GNM

Detailed explanation-1: -Opioids are involved in pain control, as well as pleasure and addiction. Their receptors are found throughout the body and can be activated by endogenous opioid peptides (two or more amino acids that work together to interfere with pain signals) that are released by neurons in the brain.
