In this question, we are given a chemical which blocks the action of acetylcholine esterase enzyme.
00:09
Now, acetylcholine esterase is an enzyme and this chemical is blocking its action.
00:15
Now, what is exactly acetylcholine esterase? now, we know that acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter which is secreted by the neurons neurons and it is basically important to initiate muscle contraction.
00:32
It will initiate the contraction of muscles because this is released in the neuromuscular junction as a neurotransmitter which interacts with the muscles to induce contraction.
00:43
And this acetylcholine esterase enzyme is basically used to break down the acetylcholine.
00:51
It breaks down this acetylcholine so that after the contraction is complete the acetylcholine is broken down and the muscle can relax.
01:07
So to induce muscle relaxation this acetylcholine esterase enzyme is of utmost importance.
01:15
So here we are given that this chemical is blocking the action of acetylcholine esterase and when this acetylcholine esterase is blocked, acetylcholine won't be broken down.
01:31
And when this acetylcholine is not broken down, the muscle will not be relaxed...
