Chapter 11, Problem 6CT
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Whether acetylcholine, curare, or potassium chloride would be preferred to save a dog who ingests organophosphate poison.
Introduction:
Organophosphate compounds act as commercial insecticides. They are used in chemical warfare as aerosols or dust. They are quickly taken up by the skin and mucous membrane and can be inhaled.

Imagine being on the TV show Survivor of the Smartest and you are stuck on an island with only a few tools. You are given a bow, 1 arrow, and two vials. One is labeled ‘Na Pump antagonist’ and the other is labeled ‘Na Channel agonist’. The arrows are to capture food, of course. You are an average shot! What will you coat the arrow tips with and why? Please, if you are not a meat eater then pretend that you can trade the meat for a bean burrito!

- After discussing his case with his physician, he learned that he had probably been the victim of pufferfish poisoning. The active toxin in the tissues of this fish is a chemical called tetrodotoxin (TTX). Tetrodotoxin is in a class of chemicals known as neurotoxins because it exerts its effects on neurons. The specific action of tetrodotoxin is that it blocks voltage-gated sodium ion channels. Define the following phrases and terms associated with the signs and symptoms of Dr. Westwood’s TTX poisoning: diaphoresis motor dysfunction paresthesias cyanotic hypoventilating bradycardia gastric lavage oxygen saturation As mentioned in the case description, tetrodotoxin is a molecule that blocks voltage-gated sodium ion channels.
