What toxin can interfere with causing skeletal muscles to contract?
rewona [7]

Answer:

Botulinum Toxin

Explanation:

Botulinum Toxin is a neurotoxin (meaning that its target is the nervous system) produced by a bacteria known as Clostridium Botulinum. The Botulinum Toxin inhibits the transmission of acetylcholine (principal neurotransmitter that participates in muscle contraction). The acetylcholine travels from presynaptic motor neurons (the neurons that control the movement) to the muscle at the neuromuscular junction (the place where the nerve gets in contact with the muscle) interfering with neural transmission and inhibiting the stimulation of the muscle fiber, thus causing muscle paralysis.

Which consideration is a priority when caring for a mother with strong contractions 1 minute apart?
geniusboy [140]

The heart rate of the fetus in relation to the contractions is the priority consideration while caring for a mother who is having strong contractions one minute apart.

There are a number of point which have to be taken care of when a mother is having strong contractions which are 1 minute apart but the priority is always to check the status of the fetus. This is important because the blood flow of the placenta gets interrupted temporarily with every contraction and therefore if the contractions are too strong and too long lasting, the fetus might not able to tolerate them.
