What toxin blocks synaptic vesicle release of acetylcholine into the neuromuscular junction a. Botulinum. b. Curare. c. Anticholinesterase. d. Isotonic. e. Creatine phosphate.?
a. BotulinumBotulism is a bacterium know as Clostridium botulinum. The toxin acts presynaptically to block the release of acetylcholine and thereby induce paralysis. It is suggested that the toxin might act by the same general mechanism as other bacterial toxins, i.e. after binding to a cell surface receptor, it enters the cell and expresses some type of enzymatic action ultimately leading to the block of neurotransmitter release.A small amount of the botulism toxin is involved in botox, which can be injected into various body parts to prevent/get rid of wrinkles. Injection of botox in essentially the paralysis of bodily tissue.
