Abstract:
On a cold, windy night, in a sealed, fire-lit room, the mysterious killer carbon monoxide sneaks into the human body in an attempt to take human life. In a time of crisis, the oxygen army defeats the killer. While celebrating his victory, Brother Oxygen discovers that the body is producing carbon monoxide! Shocked, he wants to find out the reason. After the explanation of the little Brother Carbon Monoxide, he learns that carbon monoxide acts as signaling molecules in the body and is responsible for running errands. He also controls the release of neurotransmitter in brain central, responsible for switching valve work. Finally, the two sides understand each other and turn swords into ploughshares.
Key words: Carbon monoxide, Gas signaling molecule, Neurotransmitter
