Lansing Community DIRECIV #1 Satellt br Backstage I Aud Starting with the axon terminal list as problems with synaptic transmission m toccur. Acetylcholine (ACh) is the neurotransmitter that is released from Ons and causes skeletal muscle to contract. Normally, an enzyme (cholne serase) breaks down ACh after the muscle has contracted. Neostigmine is a drug that prevents ACh from being cleared from the synaptic cleft by cholinesterase, and is given to patients with muscle weakness. How might this drug aifect skeletal muscles? 2. my locations as you can think ofwhere

Explanation / Answer

If in muscle weakness inhibitor of cholinisterase is provided then the degradation of acetylcholine by it is prevented. The longer the acetylcholine stays in the synapse the longer the muscle fibre at the other end is signalled to contract. This longer and increased number of contraction help in dealing with muscle weakness.
