Brief Explanations

Heroin is an opioid. Opioids work by binding to opioid - receptors in the brain and other parts of the body, and they are known to block the transmission of pain signals to the brain. While it can have effects on neurotransmitters like dopamine, the most characteristic effect among the options given is pain - signal blocking. It does not fill lungs with toxic material in the typical sense, and it depresses rather than speeds up the central nervous system.
