You would correctly hypothesize that the feasible treatment

You would correctly hypothesize that the feasible treatment for MG would include the administration of... nicotoine, which mimics acetylcholine physostigmine, which inhibits acetylcholinesterase activity curare, which blocks acetylcholine binding to its post-synaptic receptors botulinum toxin, which inhibits release of acetylcholine in the synapse both (a) and (b) Which toxin listed below could be administered in small amounts to relax a patient\'s muscles? curare, which blocks acetylcholine binding to its post-synaptic receptors nicotine, which mimics acetylcholine physostigmine, which inhibits acetylcholinesterase activity black widow venom, which stimulates release of acetylcholine into the synapse

Solution

6. B

Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are used as the basic symptormatic treatment which partially compensate for the reduced safety margin at the neuromuscular junction. This anticholinesterase reagents inhibit the synaptic specific ACHe reversibly. the inhibitors such as pyridostigmine and neostigmine are hydrolysed by a c he but at a slower rate than a c h.

7.A

Curare is a common name for plant extract like woodyvines which contains alkaloid this alkaloid is a poison which functions buy competitively and reversibly inhibiting the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor founded the neuromuscular junction this causes weakness of skeletal muscles and then sufficient dose is given eventual death asphyxiation results.

This drug is sometimes used to relax muscles when Doctors are correcting dis location setting bone fractures
