Strabismus is an eye condition in which one eye is not aligned correctly (see pictures below). One treatment is to inject botulinum toxin (Botox) into eye muscles to correct the misalignment. Considering the effects of botulinum toxin on the neuromuscular junction we have learned, which muscle would you inject the toxin (A-D)? Briefly explain the molecular mechanism underlying this treatment. Left eye Right eye 0502 Left eye Normal eye alignment A B C Strabismus Right eye D

Dissection

Dissection is the process of cutting up the tissue of a dead or live animal or plant, to do anatomical studies and surgical treatments. The purpose of dissection is to learn more about the overall structure of organs and organ systems and thereby understand the physiology of the organism.
