Nerve agents attack the nervous system of the human body. All such agents function the same way: by interrupting the breakdown of the neurotransmitters that signal muscles to contract, preventing them from relaxing.
Multiple gasses form a certain gas we call nerve gas that shuts down your nervous system, which connects to your spine, skin, brain, impulses, heart, hearing, breathing, and a lot more stuff that you need to live.
p.s. just save your life and wear a gas mask.
Nerve agents send messages and signals to the body organs. They are able to do thins using chemical signals as the main channel of transmitting messages.

What does the nerve cell include?
The nerve cell can be thought of as just the nerve body, which is the main part of the nerve cell. The nerve cell is also known as a neuron. The entire neuron includes an axon, nerve body, dendrites, and axon terminals.
What is the cell body of the nerve cell?
An axon is the long extension of a nerve cell body. The dendrites are the short branches.
What nerves affect walking?
The nerves that affect walking include the sciatic nerve, the femoral nerve, and the tibial nerve. Damage or compression of these nerves can result in difficulty with walking, weakness in the legs, or numbness in the lower extremities.
Which travels quicker through the body a nerve impulse or a hormons?
a nerve impulse
Does one's temperature have an effect on his reflexes?
Yes, body temperature can affect the speed of nerve conduction, which in turn can influence reflex response times. Generally, lower temperatures slow down nerve conduction and may result in slower reflexes, while higher temperatures can speed up nerve conduction and reflexes.
How does the incapacitating agent 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate affect the human body?
Competes with ACh at the nerve receptors and results in under stimulatin of the receptors.
Is a soman a choking agent?
No, it is a nerve agent, so it would affect the nervous system. Choking agents affect the pulmonary system.
What chemical Attacks the muscles of the body?
nerve agent
What are the effects of each chemical agent?
Attacks muscles of the body- Nerve agent Attacks the skin and lungs- Blister agent Attacks the airways and lungs- Choking agent Attacks the oxygen-carrying capacity of the body- Blood agent
How do you treat a nerve agent exposure?
Treatment for nerve agent exposure typically involves administering an antidote such as atropine and pralidoxime, which help to counteract the effects of the nerve agent on the body. Decontamination of the exposed individual is also important to prevent further absorption of the agent. Immediate medical attention is crucial in cases of nerve agent exposure to minimize the effects and improve the chances of recovery.
Nerve agents affect the way in which nerve cells transmit signals in the body this process is called?
Neurotransmission
What effect is caused by each type of chemical agent?
Attacks the muscles of the body--------- Nerve agent Attacks the skin and lungs----------- Blister agent Attacks the airways and lungs------ Choking agent Attacks the oxygen-carrying capacity of the body- Blood agent
What type of chemical agent is indicated?
Attacks the skin and lung = Blister Agent Attacks the Airway and lung = Choking Agent Attacks the muscle of the body = Nerve Agent Attacks the oxygen carrying capacity of the body = blood Agent
What are the different chemical agents and their effects?

Where do you administer nerve agent antidote in small people?
It depends on the type of nerve agent.
Is nitrogen a nerve agent?
No, nitrogen is not a nerve agent. Nerve agents are chemical compounds that disrupt the transmission of impulses along the nerve cells and can cause paralysis and death. Nitrogen is a common element in the atmosphere and is not used as a nerve agent.
What did the chemical weapons from Syria contain?
blistering-mustard-agent(mustard gas), V.X.-nerve-agent, sarin-nerve-agent.
