This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: alcohol, Effects of Alcohol Effect on Renal system, potentiates the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) GABA is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter, cirrhosis liver loses its functionality, cirrhosis liver loses its ability to regenerate, Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) this affects the Renal system, decreased blood, oxygen and nutrients delievered to the liver over time fibrous scar tissues invade, Nervous system effects on Brain, Digestive system 2 parts Gastrointestinal tract, Effects of Alcohol Effect on Nervous system, stimulates production of serotonin interferes with serotonin receptors on neurons, Effects of Alcohol Effect on Liver, Liver is where alcohol is broken down, Long term effects include widening fissures of the cerebral cortex, inhibited resulting in loss of vital ions such as potassium, acetaldehyde which is toxic in high concentrations, immune system proteins reduced synthesis of these proteins causes body to be vulnerable to infection, body to be vulnerable to infection which may cause inflammation, Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) which is inhibited, Brain which consists of Brain stem, fibrous scar tissues invade after which liver hardens
