Ans)Central nervous system agents are medicines that affect the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS is responsible for processing and controlling most of our bodily functions, and consists of the nerves in the brain and spinal cord.
There are many different types of drugs that work on the CNS, including anesthetics, anticonvulsants, antiemetics, antiparkinson agents, CNS stimulants, muscle relaxants, narcotic analgesics (pain relievers), nonnarcotic analgesics (such as acetaminophen and NSAIDs), and sedatives.
- Like neurotransmitters, drugs can speed up (CNS stimulants) or slow down (CNS depressants) the transfer of electro-chemical messages between neurons in the brain. Messages between neurons can also be distorted when hallucinogenic drugs are taken.
2) The agents acting on CNS, its effects are all in the one to understand is the easiest part, based on their classification.

Proшрс: The Central Nervous System is considered "immunologically privileged." What does this mean? What are the features of the anatomical structures that that enable this status. What are the factors that can cause a breach into the status of this system? How do these characteristics play a role in the efficacy of treating infections in the Nervous System, and can they contribute to the occurrence of latent infections within this system?
