As health care workers we need to be aware of disease prevalence
and statistics affecting our community and individuals. One of the
functional roles of a Health Information Technician is to be
knowledgeable of the many disease processes, causes, prevention,
and treatment to ensure healthy outcomes. The World Health
Organization (WHO) is an important and factual resource that
provides yearly statistics as well as guidelines to prevent and
decrease the mortality of diseases and their processes.
Access the World Health Organization website and choose a topic
that interests you or one you feel is of great concern in the
United States. Write a discussion post that supports your choice
with ONE pertinent fact, risk factor (s), common symptom(s), and
way(s) of prevention. Your original post must be at least 250
words

Enkephalins are morphine like substances produced in the body. Enkephalins presynaptically inhibit the release of neurotransmitter from neurons that convey signals from nociceptors in the skin to the spinal cord. Based on your knowledge of the functional anatomy of a synapse and presynaptic modulation at axoaxonic synapses, explain how enkephalins, and morphine, decrease perception of pain, which occurs at the level of the brain.
