A murder has occurred and you are asked to provide expert witness on the case. Just before the time of their death, the murder victim was found on video camera. They appear to be struck by some type of projectile that turned out to be a dart that was aimed at their thigh. After being shot, the victim is seen collapsing and convulsing rapidly on the ground. After a short time they are seen to be rigidly and rapidly bending their neck back, rapidly extending their legs and arms, and generally vibrating and rigid: they remain this way until they died. There are four suspects that are found to have a possible toxin that could have been used in the murder. Looking at the possible toxins, which suspect is likely the murderer? O A suspect in posession of a toxin that tightly binds acetylcholine receptors in the neuromuscular junction. O A suspect in posession of a toxin that destroys acetylcholinesterase in the neuromuscular junction. O A suspect in posession of a toxin that prevents the depolarization of somatic efferent axons. O A suspect in posession of a toxin that prevents acetyicholine reiease in the neuromuscular junction.

Question
QUESTION 19 A murder has occurred and you are asked to provide expert witness on the case. Just before the time of their death, the murder victim was found on video camera. They appear to be struck by some type of projectile that turned out to be a dart that was aimed at their thigh. After being shot, the victim is seen collapsing and convulsing rapidly on the ground. After a short time they are seen to be rigidly and rapidly bending their neck back, rapidly extending their legs and arms, and generally vibrating and rigid: they remain this way until they died. There are four suspects that are found to have a possible toxin that could have been used in the murder. Looking at the possible toxins, which suspect is likely the murderer? O A suspect in posession of a toxin that tightly binds acetylcholine receptors in the neuromuscular junction. O A suspect in posession of a toxin that destroys acetylcholinesterase in the neuromuscular junction. OA suspect in posession of a toxin that prevents the depolarization of somatic efferent axons. O A suspect in posession of a toxin that prevents acetylcholine release in the neuromuscular junction.
