<em>Clostridium tetani</em> bacterium would be most likely to produce a molecule  tetanospasmin toxin that could be modified to create a drug for treatment of muscle spasms (uncontrolled contractions)

An infection known as tetanus is brought on by the <em>Clostridium tetani</em> bacteria. When bacteria enter the body, they release a toxin that makes muscles contract painfully.

Tetanus is frequently referred to as "lockjaw" since one of its most noticeable symptoms is a tightening of the jaw muscles. Tetanus infection can cause major health issues, such as difficulty opening one's mouth, swallowing difficulty, and breathing difficulties.

Tetanus does not transmit from individual to individual, making it distinct from other infections that can be prevented by vaccination.

please match the following nutritional types with the statements that most accurately describe them, to test your understanding
svetlana [45]

Autotroph: a creature that obtains its carbon from inorganic carbon dioxide

Chemotroph: an organism that obtains energy from chemical substances-Heterotroph: an organism that must receive its carbon in an organic form

Phototroph: an organism that produces energy from sunlight

The term "primary nutritional groups" refers to a category of creatures that are separated into subcategories based on the sources of carbon and energy that they require for survival, growth, and reproduction. Carbon can come from organic or inorganic sources, and energy can be derived from either light or chemical molecules. ATP, carbs, or proteins are used to store the liberated energy as potential energy. The energy is eventually put to use for activities essential to life, like movement, growth, and reproduction.

What is the similarity between toxicity caused by an overdose of acetylcholine or nicotine and by the use of ganglionic blockers
dem82 [27]

Explanation:

In neurology, postganglionic nerve fibers are autonomic nerve fibers from the ganglion to the effector organ. These, unlike preganglionic fibers (whose sole neurotransmitter is acetylcholine) have a variety of neurotransmitters to fulfill their functions.

Neurotransmitters

The neurotransmitters of postganglionic fibers are varied, and are distributed as follows:

In the parasympathetic nervous system, neurons are cholinergic (Acetylcholine is the primary neurotransmitter)

In the sympathetic nervous system, neurons are mostly adrenergic (norepinephrine-epinephrine and / or norepinephrine, both have the same chemical structure, but epinephrine has a methyl group unlike norepinephrine that has a hydrogen, instead of a methyl group - act as the primary neurotransmitter) Two exceptions to this are the sympathetic innervation of the sweat glands and the piloerector muscles where the neurotransmitter in both pre and post ganglionic synapses is acetylcholine and in the vessels of the renal cortex where dopamine is used as the main neurotransmitter. Another exception is the sympathetic innervation of the medulla of the adrenal gland, which is innervated by preganglionic fibers, and subsequently uses acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter. Adrenal medulla cells are, in fact, modified postganglionic neurons that secrete epinephrine and norepinephrine directly into the bloodstream rather than a synapse.

In both divisions of the autonomic nervous system, postganglionic neurons express nicotinic acetylcholine receptors to receive signals from preganglionic neurons.
