       Endocrine: Releases hormones directly into the bloodstream. Have
       many affects ranging from stimulating the growth of new tissues
       to store nutrients, maintaining homeostasis, and affecting
       metabolism and sexual behavior.
       Cardiovascular: The heart and blood vessels constitute this
       system. Alcohol can cause the heart to harden.
       Respiratory system: Barbiturates, alcohol, tranquilizers and
       narcotics can have tragic effects because they slow the
       respiration. stimulents increase the rate.

       Endocrine System: Releases hormones directly into the
       bloodstream. this is also called ductless glands. Drugs will
       affect the hormones that are being put into our body, either
       making too much or stopping the production.
       Cardiovascular System: This is made up of the heart and the
       blood vessels. Drugs can affect the heart by interfering with it
       contracting. They can either make irregular heartbeats, the
       muscle to degenerate, and increase blood pressure. Many drugs
       will make people at risk for a heart attack.
       Respiratory System: Many drugs may slow down respiration's,
       meaning slowing down breathing. Smoking can cause the cilia not
       to remove the mucus and other foreign matter from the lungs.
       This causes smokers to have more infections and makes them more
       severe.

       The endocrine system affects growth of new tissues to storing
       nutrients, affecting metabolism and sexual behavior. The
       pituitary gland and adrenal gland are also part of the endocrine
       system. The heart is the bodies most important organ because
       when it stops people die. Drugs that interfere with the pumping
       can be a danger. Alcohol can cause the heart to degenerate,
       irregular heart beat, etc. Depressent drugs such as barbituates,
       tranqualizers, alcohol, and narcotics can have tragic effects
       because they slow down respiration. they can cause breathing to
       stop. Using alcohol with depressents can cause death. Smoking is
       especially bad for the respiratory system.
