For instance, the exposure to alcohol “Exposure to alcohol during early central nervous system development has been shown variously to affect aspects of physiological and behavioral development. In extreme cases, this can extend to craniofacial defects, severe developmental delay and mental retardation. At more moderate levels, subtle differences in brain morphology and behavior have observed. One apparent effect of developmental alcohol exposure is an increase in the propensity to develop alcoholism and other addictions” (Parker). Autonomic nervous system is a part of a peripheral nervous system. It usually acts as a control mechanism for most internal organs, and also monitor the level of conscious awareness so when someone addicted to drugs or alcohol or any other substances the activity of autonomic nervous system will be very increased, and then the unconscious responses immediately. That’s why when somebody addicted to substances they never know what they are doing, they cannot able to solve the problem, and they are unable to make-decision because usually, drugs are a chemical that impairs the brain communication system and affect the way of nerve cells to send, receive, and process information. Addiction also interferes an important body process is called homeostasis. Homeostasis is the biological system that maintains the standard body
