Anaerobic pathway Myasthenia gravis is a disease that is believed to be caused by an autoimmune disorder, resulting in the loss of ACh receptors at the motor end plate of muscle fibers. Which of the following is likely to be a symptom of myasthenia gravis? Coma and loss of voluntary muscle movement Seizures and uncontrollable muscle movement Dehydration with headache Weakness of muscles

Q5. If Atropine administered alone decreased the basal tone of the tissue what might that indicate? Q6. What happens to your muscles when they get cold? Does that have implications for adding previously frozen drugs to the organ bath?

How do I discuss each of the above six stages to see whether halothane could alter synaptic function and cause a single action potential in a motor axon to produce strong and prolonged contractions of the muscle fibers it supplies? Below are the six stages: 1. Acetylcholine is secreted into the cleft by the motor axon. 2. The neurotransmitter reacts with nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on the muscle membrane. 3. Channels open and the muscle membrane depolarizes. 4. The neurotransmitter is broken down by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase in the synaptic cleft. 5. This produces an End Plate potential in the muscle membrane. 6. Choline is taken up into the presynaptic cell.
