Question
Chapter 10, Problem 25RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
An example of a site where the binding of ACh (acetylcholine) to its receptor occurs and also, predict the physiological effect of the drug Atracurium.
Introduction:
Atracurium is a drug that is used in combination with various other drugs for relaxing the skeletal muscles. The muscles are relaxed after any mechanical ventilation or any surgery. Between a cell and a neuron, the communication occurs at the synapse. In case, if the cell is a skeletal muscle then the synapse is called as the NMJ (neuromuscular junction).
