The main function of the human

your entire body.

Cannabinoid Receptors are key to the endocannabinoid
system in the sense that they are
the communicator. These receptors transmit
information about changing conditions to the
inside of the cell.
There are two major cannabinoid receptors:
CB1 & CB2. These are not the only receptors,
but they were the first ones discovered and
have remained the best studied.
The CB1 receptor is expressed mainly in the brain or
central nervous system, but also in the lungs, liver, and
kidneys.
The CB2 receptor is expressed mainly in the immune
system and in hematopoietic cells. They are also
expressed on the peripheral nerve terminals, which
play a role in the relief of pain.
