3. One issue with a nACh receptor competitive antagonists like Curare is if they leak away from the site of injection, they can have side effects. One side effect is ganglionic block, where Curare is inhibiting autonomic ganglion function. 1. Explain why having Curare in the ganglion of the autonomic system would be a problem. In particular, it can cause low blood pressure which occurs when blood vessels of the body relax (vasodilate). 2. Explain how most blood vessels of the body normally keep their shape or contract and which division in particular of the autonomic system would be affected by Curare to cause low blood pressure.
