To determine which statement is incorrect regarding opioid drugs, we will analyze the provided options step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding Opioid Drugs**: - Opioid drugs are substances that interact with opioid receptors in the brain to produce effects such as pain relief, euphoria, and sedation. They can be derived from natural sources or synthesized. 2. **Source of Opioids**: - Opioids, specifically opiate drugs, are derived from opium, which is obtained from the dried latex of the opium poppy plant (Papaver somniferum). The latex is extracted from the unripe seed pods of the plant. 3. **Characteristics of Opioids**: - Common opiate drugs include heroin (also known as diacetylmorphine), which is a potent opioid. It is typically a white, odorless, bitter crystalline compound. 4. **Analyzing the Statements**: - **Option 1**: "They bind to a specific opioid receptor present in our brain or VNS only." - This statement is incorrect. Opioid receptors are not limited to the brain or the ventral nervous system (VNS); they are distributed throughout the body, including in the spinal cord and peripheral tissues. - **Option 2**: "It includes heroin." - This statement is correct.
