Question

Clostridium botulinum is a bacteria that produces a toxin. The toxin is deadly to most animals, because it prevents vesicle movement inside the axons of motor neurons. If a person were to consume food contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, which of the following would most likely occur? A flaccid paralysis because their motor neurons would not be able to conduct action potentials along their axons. B spastic paralysis because their motor neurons would conduct too many action potentials along their axons. C flaccid paralysis because their motor neurons would not be able to release acetylcholine at the synapse with a muscle fiber D spastic paralysis because their motor neurons would release too much acetylcholine at the synapse with a muscle fiber
