Answer;

-Convulsions and possible death

Explanation;

-Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter used at the neuromuscular junction, it is the chemical that motor neurons of the nervous system release in order to activate muscles.

-It's found in parts of the peripheral nervous system, spinal cord, and areas of the brain. In the peripheral nervous system, ACh activates muscles that help the body move. When Ach is released to the muscle cells, the muscle contracts.

-There are many problems that can occur if ACh is blocked (muscles can't contract). One example is the black widow spider which uses venom that causes a flood of ACh into muscle cells and results in violent, uncontrollable muscle contractions, paralysis, and death for it's prey.

Explain how heredity and family medical history can play a role in an individual’s personal health. Include examples in your exp
allsm [11]
Many disorders can be heritable through the generation. Knowing the patterns of disorder heredity, either it is dominant or recessive, autosomal or sex-linked is a great advantage in making a diagnose. It should be taken into consideration that some diseases can be influenced by environmental factors. For example, a person knows its parents had high blood pressure. That person has a predisposition for high blood pressure too. But, since heredity and family medical history is known, that person can prevent the appearance of the disease by taking care of its condition, performing physical activities, avoiding smoking, fat diet, etc.
