1- Explain what happens to opioids when they find to opioid receptors. 2 - How does the inhibition of pain signaling happen? 3 - What is tolerance and why does it happen?

When opioids find opioid receptors, they promote potassium conductance, that makes a neuron less likely to fire an action potential. They also inhibit calcium conductance, which makes a neuron less likely to release neurotransmitters. Pain signaling happens when the opioid receptors on neurons in the spinal cord carry information about pain which inhibits the transmission of pain information to the brain. They also act on descending pain modulatory systems to reduce the pain. Tolerance can take place when the drug is taken too often and more is needed to produce the initial effect. Although not understood, they involve adaptive changes like a reduction in the number of functional receptors for the drug to act.
