The effect of the toxin is to block the release of inhibitory neurotransmitters (glycine and gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) across the synaptic cleft, which is required to check the nervous impulse. The consequence of this is dangerous overactivity in the muscles is the failure of inhibition of motor reflexes. Normally your nervous system keeps this in check.If nervous impulses cannot be checked by normal inhibitory mechanisms, it produces the generalized muscular spasms characteristic of tetanus.

What differences would you expect to see between one motor unit where muscular strength is more important than fine control and another motor unit where fine control is more important?

In a motor unit where muscular strength is prioritized, such as in large muscle groups used for heavy lifting, you would expect to see larger motor neurons and a greater number of muscle fibers per motor unit, allowing for stronger contractions. Conversely, in a motor unit where fine control is essential, such as in the fingers for delicate tasks, the motor neurons would be smaller, and each motor unit would have fewer muscle fibers, enabling more precise and coordinated movements. This structural difference reflects the functional requirements of strength versus dexterity in muscle activity.


What is the purpose of a control setup in an experiment?

A control setup is something where you know how it will behave. It gives you a reference to measure affect of all other variables.

What is the control in a expirment?

The control in an experiment is what you are changing, rather like the independent variables in a function in math. You may be doing an experiment regarding, say, the amount of light reflected off a surface. The control here is the material you are using to reflect the light. You are CONTROLLING it. The luminosity of the reflection is the reading you get, so it's your result. Just remember the control is what you are able to change to affect the outcome.
