Everything about Physiological Tolerance totally explained
In
physiology,
tolerance occurs when an organism builds up a resistance to the effects of a substance after repeated exposure. This can occur with environmental substances such as salt or pesticides. It is also commonly encountered in
pharmacology (see
drug tolerance), when a subject's reaction to a drug (such as a painkiller or intoxicant) decreases so that larger doses are required to achieve the same effect.
There are two major mechanisms for tolerance:
- Dispositional tolerance: occurs because of a decreased quantity of the substance reaching the site it affects.
- Reduced responsiveness: the response to the substance is decreased by cellular mechanisms.
