Question

 what the image tells bout the TTX toxin of rough-skinned newts blocks the skeletal muscle sodium channel?

**Snake Population and TTX Resistance**

**Overview:**

This image presents a diagram of the skeletal muscle sodium channel, highlighting its structure and the tetrodotoxin (TTX) resistance among different snake populations. The diagram includes a table and a visual representation of the sodium channel.

**Table of Snake Populations:**

- **Bear Lake, ID:** Sequence - NFTFGNSICLFEITTSAGWDGLL  
  **TTX Resistance:** 22 ± 6.6 (No resistance)

- **Warrenton, OR:** Sequence - NFTFGNSICLFEVTSAGWDGLL  
  **TTX Resistance:** 44 ± 4.2

- **Benton, OR:** Sequence - NFTFGNSICLFEVTSAGWDGLL  
  **TTX Resistance:** 210 ± 60

- **Willow Creek, CA:** Sequence - NFTFGNSICLFEVTSAGWNVLL  
  **TTX Resistance:** 12,000 (Extreme resistance)

**Diagram of the Sodium Channel:**

- The sodium channel is divided into four domains: Domain I, II, III, and IV.
- Each domain is composed of segments across the cell membrane, with extracellular and intracellular orientations.
- Variations in the amino acid sequences of these channels, indicated by different colored circles and letters (e.g., V, N, T), are associated with differing levels of resistance to TTX.
- The increment in TTX resistance levels correlates with specific mutations at these sites.
