7 Central Nervous System The CNS consists of: The brain, spinal cord, and the body’s nerve network. EFFECTS: Feelings of alertness and being wide awake, followed by feeling relaxed.

8 Respiratory System The Respiratory System is: – The set of organs that supply the body with oxygen and rid the body of carbon dioxide. EFFECTS: Decreased lung capacity making it harder to breathe and exercise.

9 Circulatory System Circulatory System: – Made up of vessels and muscles that control the flow of blood in the body. EFFECTS: Increased blood pressure as nicotine causes blood vessels to narrow and blood pressure to rise; the heart also beats faster
