Agents that paralyze skeletal muscle by simple competitive inhibition of acetylcholine at muscle receptor sites are called?
a. nondepolarizing
b. depolarizing
c. antagonizing
d. repolarizing
Answer:
a. nondepolarizing
Explanation:
As the nerve impulse arrives, the synaptic end bulbs of the motor neurons release acetylcholine in the synapse. Acetylcholine binds to its receptors present at the motor endplate. This results in the opening of an ion channel in the ACh receptor to allow the movement of the Na+ into the cell. This makes the inside of the muscle fiber more positively charged, that is, depolarized.
Depolarization triggers a muscle action potential. Drugs or chemicals that paralyze skeletal muscle by competitive inhibition of acetylcholine at muscle receptor sites are called non-depolarizing as they do not allow the acetylcholine to facilitate the depolarization of the muscle fiber.
<span>Location of the estuary, the amount & quality of fresh water flowing in and oceanic storms that have the tendency to push in more salt water are all huge causes of the amount of salt in the water of an estuary to change. </span>
B... These microbes are the foundation for life in hydrothermal vent ecosystems. Instead of using light energy to turn carbon dioxide into sugar like plants do, they harvest chemical energy from the minerals and chemical compounds that spew from the vents—a process known as chemosynthesis . (I got this off the web hope it helps)
Answer:
True
Explanation:
It is a little misleading but ultimately correct. Homeostasis is maintaining a stable internal environment despite changing external conditions.
