The internal structures disrupted by this chemical are probably __________.rough endoplasmic reticulummitochondriacell junctionsmicrotubules
These filament-like structures are a major component of the cytoskeleton of the cell and help is maintain asymmetrical cell shape. They are composed of tubulin molecules arranged to form a 'hollow straw' attached to the cell membrane end to end . The contraction and lengthening of these microtubules are controlled by the addition of removal these of tubulin molecules to vary its length.
Hypomagnesemia is a condition of low magnesium levels in the body and because magnesium acts as an active cardiovascular electrolyte, its deficiency leads to cardiac complications such as dysrhythmias.
People who suffer from myocardial infarction are often treated for hypomagnesemia to improve their cardiac conduction, however, hypomagnesemia can also develop in chronic alcoholics.
The other reasons that could lead to the condition faced by Robert Stevens can be hypokalaemia however, as he is also chronic alcoholic hypomagnesemia is the main cause.
