A child ingested an organophosphate poison used to kill insects. Soon the child's
muscles began tetanic contractions. Predict what occurred at the synaptic cleft. -

breakdown of acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft.
Predict the consequences of administration of a compound that blocks the calcium
channels on presynaptic motor neuron terminals.
A. This should ultimately inhibit the release of acetylcholine
B. This should ultimately inhibit the muscle membrane from depolarization
C. This should ultimately inhibit the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic
reticulum

acetylcholinesteras - Answer The muscle will stay contracted
Botulism food poisoning results from a toxin (poison) produced by bacteria. Death
from botulism results from the uncontrolled relaxation of the respiratory muscles
(diaphragm). Assuming that this toxin affects the neuromuscular junction, which of
the following could be a way in which this toxin could cause these muscles to relax
and no longer contract. - Answer The botulism toxin could block the release of
acetylcholine from the pre-synaptic terminal of a neruomuscular junciton.
