Definition

The venom is poisonous animal found on venomous snakes. Poison animal is a mixture of various different substances that can cause several different toxic reactions in humans. A small percentage of toxins is specific to an organ, some have an effect on almost every organ. Sometimes patients can reclaim some pharmacological substances that can increase the severity of toxicity is concerned. The composition of the poison depends on how animals use toxins. Poison mouth offensive aimed at crippling its prey, often containing lethal factor. Poison tail is defensive and aimed repel predators, toxins are less toxic and less tissue damage
Can is a substance or a substance that serves to immobilize prey and also play a role in self-defense system. Could it be a modified saliva, produced by special glands. Glands that secrete could be a modification of the parotid salivary gland located at the bottom of each side of the head behind the eyes. Snake venom is not composed only of a single substance, but it is a complex mixture, especially protein, which has enzymatic activity.

Etiology Snake Bite
There are three families of snakes are venomous, the Elapidae, Hidrophidae, and Viperidae. Snake venom can cause local changes, such as edema and bleeding. Many could that cause local changes, but remains at the location on the bitten limb. While some may Elapidae bites there is no longer at the location within 8 hours.
Power toxic venom known there are several kinds:
a. Snake venom are toxic to blood (hematoxic)
Snake venom are toxic to blood, snake venom that attacks and damages (destroying) of red blood cells by destroying lecethine stroma (the walls of red blood cells), cells to be crushed and dissolved (hemolysin) and out through the vessel- blood vessels, resulting in bleeding incidence on the thin lining (mucus) in the mouth, nose, throat, and others.
b. Snake venom is nerves (neurotoxic)
That snake venom destructive and paralyzing nerve cell tissues around the bite that causes tissue death of the nerve cells with signs of skin around the bite looks bluish and black (nekrotis). Deployment and subsequent poisoning affects the central nervous system by way of paralyzing the central nervous system, such as respiratory and cardiac nerves. The spread of venom throughout the body, is through the lymph vessels.
c. Snake venom is Myotoksin
Resulted in rhabdomyolysis is often associated with maemotoksin. Myoglobulinuria causing kidney damage and hyperkalemia due to damage to the muscle cells.
d. Snake venom is kardiotoksin
Damage the heart muscle fibers that causes damage to the heart muscle.
e. Snake venom is cytotoksin
With the release of histamine and other substances result in disruption of cardiovascular vasoaktifamin.
f. Snake venom is cytolitik
Active substances that cause inflammation and tissue necrosis at the site of the bite.
g. Enzymes
Including hyaluronidase as active agents could spread.
