So don't worry friend, you don't need to figure everything out alone anymore for nursing school. We're here to help you every step of the way.

The mechanism of action of morphine is that it binds to opioid receptors in the central nervous system, causing the central nervous system to become depressed. That CNS depression leads to less sensation and neurotransmitters, transmitting pain to the body and a decreased perception of pain. Morphine also releases histamine throughout the body.

Morphine's therapeutic effect is pain relief and it also causes blood vessels to dilate (also known as vasodilation) because of the CNS depression and general relaxation that occurs from it.

Knowing this mechanism of action, let's walk through the side effects of morphine in this video!
