Acetylcholine
Acetylcholine (Ach) is a chemical that serves as a neurotransmitter, communicating nerve impulses between the cells of the nervous system. It is largely associated with the transmission of impulses across the synapse between nerve and muscle cells, causing the muscles to contract. ACh is produced in the synaptic knob and stored in vesicles until a nerve impulse triggers its discharge across the synapse. When the ACh reaches the membrane of the receiving cell it binds with a specific site and brings about depolarisation - a reversal of the electric charge on either side of the membrane causing a fresh impulse in nerve cells or a contraction in muscle cells. Its action is short-lived because it is quickly destroyed by the enzyme cholinesterase. Anticholinergic drugs have a number of uses in medicine to block the action of ACh, thereby disrupting the passage of nerve impulses and relaxing certain muscles, for example in premedication before surgery.

Addiction
Addiction is a state of dependence caused by the habitual use of drugs, alcohol, or other substances. It is characterised by uncontrolled craving, tolerance, and symptoms of withdrawal when access is denied. Habitual use produces changes in body chemistry and treatment must be geared to a gradual reduction in dosage. Initially, only opium and its derivatives (morphine, heroin, codeine) were recognised as addictive, but many other drugs, whether therapeutic (such as tranquillisers) or recreational (such as cocaine and alcohol), are now known to be addictive. Research points to a genetic predisposition to addiction; environment and psychological make-up are other factors. Although physical addiction always has a psychological element, not all psychological dependence is accompanied by physical dependence. A carefully controlled withdrawal programme can reverse the chemical changes of habituation. A cure is difficult because of the many other factors contributing to addiction.

Adenitis
Adenitis is an inflammation of the lymphatic glands. It may be either acute or chronic. As a rule, adenitis is a symptom of some disease process within the area of the body that is drained by the lymphatic channels in which the affected lymphatic glands are situated. In acute adenitis the disease is usually an infected wound or sore, the invading micro-organisms being carried away by the lymphatics and trapped in the glands, where, in turn, they set up inflammation, causing enlargement of the gland, and sometimes suppuration. Chronic adenitis may be due to a chronic infection, such as tuberculosis. Lymphatic glands are also the seat of secondary cancer, the malignant growth cells being carried along the lymphatic channels from the primary cancer. Lymphadenoma or Hodgkin's disease also causes enlargement of the lymphatic glands.

Glandular fever (infectious mononucleosis) is a mild infectious disease most commonly caused by the Epstein-Barr (EB) virus, one of the herpes viruses. As with any harmful infection, the body's immune system fights the EB virus infection by activating large numbers of lymphocytes. Glandular fever occurs most often in young adults but also strikes children and older people. Direct contact between people-kissing, for example - can spread the disease. The chief symptoms include chills, fever, sore throat, and fatigue. The disease is called glandular fever because swelling occurs in the lymph 'glands', especially those in the neck. Symptoms may also include an enlarged spleen, inflamed mouth and gums, skin rash, jaundice, and an enlarged liver. Depending on the seriousness of the case, most doctors recommend mild to complete bed rest for a glandular fever patient. The disease is not fatal, and most patients recover within three to six weeks. Blood tests are used to diagnose glandular fever. In a test used widely for many years, a sample of the patient's blood is mixed with sheep's blood. If the patient has the disease, the sheep's blood cells stick together. Newer, more sophisticated tests identify glandular fever by detecting specific antibodies believed to be formed in the blood to fight the EB virus.

Haemoglobin
Haemoglobin is a protein used by all vertebrates and some invertebrates for oxygen transport. In vertebrates it occurs in red blood cells (erythrocytes), giving them their colour. In the lungs or gills where the concentration of oxygen is high, oxygen attaches to haemoglobin to form oxyhaemoglobin. This process effectively increases the amount of oxygen that can be carried in the bloodstream. The oxygen is later released in the body tissues where it is at a low concentration, and the deoxygenated blood returned to the lungs or gills. Haemoglobin will combine also with carbon monoxide to form carboxyhaemoglobin, but in this case the reaction is irreversible.

In rare cases they produce an irreversible psychotic state mimicking schizophrenia. Spiritual or religious experiences are common, hence the ritual use of hallucinogens in some cultures. They work by chemical interference with the normal action of neurotransmitters in the brain.
