What else can I help you with?
Paralysis of which woul make an individual unable to flex the thigh?
Paralysis of the quadriceps femoris muscle would make an individual unable to flex the thigh. This muscle is responsible for extending the knee and flexing the thigh at the hip joint.
What would happen to people exposed to a chemical warfare agent that blocked acetylcholine from binding to muscle receptors?
Muscle contractions would be prevented, causing paralysis.
What would Poisons Such As Botulism That Prevent The Release Of Acetylcholine Would Cause Muscles To Do?
Poisons like botulism inhibit the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter essential for muscle contraction. As a result, muscles would be unable to receive signals to contract, leading to paralysis. This paralysis can affect various muscles, including those involved in breathing, which can be life-threatening. Overall, the affected muscles would remain relaxed and unresponsive.
Which particular skeletal muscle if they where paralyzed by botulinum would stop the victim from breathing?
If the diaphragm, the primary muscle responsible for breathing, were paralyzed by botulinum toxin, the victim would be unable to breathe effectively. The diaphragm contracts to create negative pressure in the thoracic cavity, allowing air to flow into the lungs. Paralysis of this muscle would lead to respiratory failure, as the body would struggle to take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide.
What word means 'unable to move' and starts with the letter P?
paralyzed (unable to move would need the past tense) Other forms: paralysis - the condition of being unable to move paralyze - the action to make something or someone be unable to move
Is loss of its nerve supply would cause denervation atrophy and paralysis of the skeletal muscle involved true?
Yes it is true.
How would a drug that blocks acetylcholine release affect muscle contraction?
All I know is that acetylcholine is the only neurotransmitter that transmits signals from nerves to skeletal muscles, so anything that blocks it would probably have the effect of you wanting to move your muscles, but either not being able to, or moving weakly. Just a (educated) guess. It would cause spastic paralysis (muscles are contracted and unable to relax)
What neurotransmitter is vital to proper muscle functioning?
Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter vital to proper muscle functioning. It is released at the neuromuscular junction and binds to receptors on muscle cells, initiating contraction. This process is crucial for voluntary movements and overall muscle coordination. Without acetylcholine, muscle activation would be impaired, leading to weakness or paralysis.
An individual accidentally transected the spinal cord between T1 and L2 This would result in?
Paraplegia - paralysis of both lower limbs
Which type of stress would make an individual unable to make decisions or process information?
Mental
What would surround a bundle of muscle fibers?
EndomysiumendomysiumCovering individual muscle fibers is a thin connective tissue sheath called the endomysium.
Puffer fish poison blocks voltage gated sodium channels like a cork so what effect would this neurotoxin have on the function of neurons?
Blocking voltage-gated sodium channels would prevent the influx of sodium ions necessary for generating action potentials in neurons. This would lead to a decrease in neuronal excitability, potentially causing paralysis, muscle weakness, and potentially respiratory failure.
