Endorphin lowers perception of pain through

• A. Reduction in nerve impulse transmission
• B. Sedating pain receptors
• C. Sedating pain perceptors
• D. All the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Reduction in nerve impulse transmission

Endomorphins are the chemical substance which is present in the neurons. It helps in the perception of pain, reactions to stress, and cardiovascular, respiratory and digestive functions. They are produced within the body so they are known as endogenous. They specifically work by binding to opoid receptors which are mainly found in nervous system. It gets associated with stress hormone and reduces the nerve impulse transmission and lowers the nerve transmission and helps in pain management.

So, the correct answer is option A.
