Question

question 49
blocking the release of acetylcholine to skeletal muscle would result in:
a paralysis
b lactic acid accumulation
c anaerobic respiration
d lack of creatine phosphate

Explanation:

Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that transmits signals from motor neurons to skeletal muscle fibers, initiating muscle contraction. If its release is blocked, the muscle cannot receive the signal to contract, leading to paralysis. Lactic acid accumulation (B) occurs during anaerobic respiration (C), which is a metabolic process, not directly related to neurotransmitter blockage. Lack of creatine phosphate (D) affects energy supply in muscle cells but is not the consequence of blocking acetylcholine release.

Answer:

A. paralysis
