Asia has an intense monsoon, but North America also experiences a low-intensity monsoon. What causes monsoons?
◦ The oceans warm faster than the continents during the summer and spawn cyclonic storms that move toward the continents.
◦ The horse latitude high pressure system breaks down in summer, leading to monsoon moisture in desert locations like southwestern North America and India.
◦ Heating of the polar regions in summer due to long days causes air to flow toward the poles in summer, drawing moisture from warm ocean dominated air masses.
◦ The heating of the continent during the summer produces a persistent low pressure over the continent that draws warm moist air masses from adjacent oceans.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
