Question

Which body system is not affected by intoxication?
A) Skeleton
B) Digestive
C) Cardiovascular
D) Excretory

Answer 1

The change in mood, perception, motor skills, thinking due to the alcohol or any drug effect is termed as intoxication. Intoxication causes severe dehydration and inflammation. It is mainly expressed as a percentage, which is known as BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration).

Complete answer:
Alcohol can affect our level of judgement, behaviour, and self-control. It may affect mainly the four body systems- nervous, digestive, excretory, cardiovascular.

Now, look at the options that we are provided with.
A) Skeletal system is not affected by alcohol consumption.
B) When we drink alcohol it directly reaches into the blood because there is no digestive process for the digestion of alcohol in the stomach. That’s why it causes irritation in the mouth, tongue, oesophagus and stomach and accumulates liver fat and affects the digestive system badly.
C) Cardiovascular systems are affected by alcohol because by the consumption of alcohol the risk of heart damage increases and may cause diseases like cardiomyopathies and increase our heart rate and blood pressure.
D) Alcohol also affects our excretory system by loss of water from the body as urine which may cause dehydration and cause diarrhoea.

So, the correct answer is option (A) skeletal system.

Note: Many other reasons why alcohol is not good for our body-
- It may lead to damage to the organ.
- It may also lead to cancer.
- It increases the weight of the body.
- It may lead to dehydration.
- It may lead to the deficiency of nutrients such as thiamine, folate, magnesium, etc.
