Want this question answered?
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a natural inhibitor and blocks single sodium channels in an all-or-none manner.
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) completely prevents action potentials from generating peripherally. This can be fatal because it causes muscle paralysis, including those responsible for respiration. The way TTX does this is by blocking sodium channels, thereby preventing sodium ions from entering the cell, which in turn prevents membrane depolarisation.
TTX Company's motto is 'Forward thinking'.
TTX Company was created in 1955-12.
TTX will block the response at R1 but have no effect at R2
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a natural inhibitor and blocks single sodium channels in an all-or-none manner.
They both decrease action potential duration, but TTX is the only one that decreases the maximum rate of depolarization.
See OUSL course TTX 5234
This ever get figured out?
yes...TTX is a neurotoxin that shuts down electrical signals in the nerves by disrupting the flow of sodium ions into nerve cells. Fugu poisoning victims generally die with six to 24 hours after eating fugu, depending on the amount of poison ingested. Paralysis spread through the body while the victim is conscious. Death usually occurs from respiratory failure after the victims has gone into
See the wikipedia article on tetrodotoxin, TTX.
It blocks the voltage-gated Na+ channels.
They are more than likely in storage.
fugu has ttx in it, so chefs cant cut themselves
