How does caffeine keep you awake and alert? A)It is a nervous system stimulant. B)It increases the availability of glucose to brain cells. C)It decreases body temperature. D)It increases production of serotonin.

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

One minute. I'm thinking

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

Caffeine works by changing the chemistry of the brain. It blocks the action of a natural brain chemical that is associated with sleep.

OpenStudy (photon336):

interesting question

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

I don't know if it exactly increases glucose to the brain.

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

I dont know if it is serotonin. Serotonin I think is used to help make the body more... hmm. Regulated? If I am correct though.

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

serotonin is primarily found in the gastrointestinal tract.

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

Soo..

OpenStudy (photon336):

I was thinking that it acts as a stimulant

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

I was thinking the same ^

@Maddy1251

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

In my own personal opinion, increasing my body temp. makes me sleepy.

OpenStudy (photon336):

Found this explanation online "As the brain creates adenosine it binds to adenosine receptors. That binding of adenosine causes drowsiness by slowing nerve cell activity. The adenosine binding also causes the brain's blood vessels to dilate, most likely to let in more oxygen during sleep. Caffeine looks just like adenosine to a nerve cell."

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

That makes sense. I'd go with a stimulant.

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

Photon and Maddy approved.

OpenStudy (photon336):

yep

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

Yes. A.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK:)

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

Photon was major help, too. Thanks @Photon336

Which of the following is an adverse effect of consuming too much caffeine? Caffeine causes insomnia. Caffeine causes rapid heart beats or arrhythmia. All of these are adverse effects of caffeine.

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

Well I definitely know too much Caffeine can make you have irregular/fast heart rate.

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

In relation to this, this could cause your mind to "wake up", unable to fall asleep due to such high heart rate.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B

OpenStudy (maddy1251):

I'd personally say all of the above. Rapid heart beak/increased heartbeat = More active brain, unable to fall asleep.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

REALLY
