Difference between Lead poisoning and Neurotoxin

Lead poisoning vs. Neurotoxin

Lead poisoning is a type of metal poisoning caused by lead in the body. Neurotoxins are toxins that are poisonous or destructive to nerve tissue (causing neurotoxicity).

Similarities between Lead poisoning and Neurotoxin

Lead poisoning and Neurotoxin have 35 things in common (in Unionpedia): Axon, Blood, Blood–brain barrier, Brain, Calcium, Cell membrane, Central nervous system, Cerebral edema, Circulatory system, Death, Gastrointestinal tract, Inflammation, Ingestion, Intellectual disability, Ion channel, Kidney failure, Lead, Long-term potentiation, Mercury (element), Mining, Nervous system, Neurology, Neuromuscular junction, Neuron, Neurotoxicity, NMDA receptor, Paralysis, Paresthesia, Peripheral nervous system, Peripheral neuropathy, ..., Smelting, Stroke, Symptom, Synapse, United States Environmental Protection Agency.

Axon

An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis) or nerve fiber, is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials, away from the nerve cell body.

Blood

Blood is a body fluid in humans and other animals that delivers necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells.

Blood–brain barrier

The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a highly selective semipermeable membrane barrier that separates the circulating blood from the brain and extracellular fluid in the central nervous system (CNS).

Cell membrane

The cell membrane (also known as the plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane, and historically referred to as the plasmalemma) is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment (the extracellular space).

Circulatory system

The circulatory system, also called the cardiovascular system or the vascular system, is an organ system that permits blood to circulate and transport nutrients (such as amino acids and electrolytes), oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood cells to and from the cells in the body to provide nourishment and help in fighting diseases, stabilize temperature and pH, and maintain homeostasis.

Death

Death is the cessation of all biological functions that sustain a living organism.

Gastrointestinal tract

The gastrointestinal tract (digestive tract, digestional tract, GI tract, GIT, gut, or alimentary canal) is an organ system within humans and other animals which takes in food, digests it to extract and absorb energy and nutrients, and expels the remaining waste as feces.

Inflammation

Inflammation (from inflammatio) is part of the complex biological response of body tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants, and is a protective response involving immune cells, blood vessels, and molecular mediators.
