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.

Lidocaine is an anesthetic that is commonly used in medical and dental practices. After being injected or applied to the skin, lidocaine very quickly causes numbness in that area by affecting nerve transmission. Which option below is a possible mechanism by which lidocaine might work?
Mimics the neurotransmitter released by sensory neurons
Causes an influx of calcium into the axon bulb of sensory neurons
Prevents the opening of sodium channels in the sensory neurons
Students in a veterinary school are given the following hypotheticalproblem: A dog ingests organophosphate poison, and the students areresponsible for saving the animal’s life. Organophosphate poisons bindto and inhibit acetylcholinesterase. Several substances the studentscould inject include the following: acetylcholine, curare (which blocksacetylcholine receptors), and potassium chloride. If you were a studentin the class, what would you advise to save the animal?

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. What is a voltage-gated sodium ion channel and what is its function? When nerve cells are at rest, there is an unequal amount of positive and negative charges on either side of a nerve cell membrane. This charge difference creates an electrical potential.…arrow_forwardThe action potential generated in the squid giant axon requires voltage-gated potassium channels.

ZIGGY, a chemical analog of ACh, also binds to the same acetylcholine receptor on muscle cells, but instead causes the muscle cells to relax. For this reason, it is sometimes prescribed as a muscle relaxer. Explain in 3-4 sentences how ZIGGY could cause muscle relaxation. How can both ZIGGY and ACh bind the same GPCR? And then how can they have different effects on the cells, despite binding to the same receptor on the same cells?arrow_forward
