Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Although neuromuscular blockers can paralyze all skeletal muscles, not all muscles are affected at once. The last muscles affected by neuromuscular blockers are the muscles of respiration, including the intercostals and the diaphragm. The first to become paralyzed are the levator muscle of the eyelids and the muscles of mastication. Paralysis occurs next in the muscles of the limbs, abdomen, and glottis.
