Tetanus toxin
A)binds with glycine receptors, thus blocking the action of this inhibitory neurotransmitter
B)destroys dopamine in the region of the brain involved in controlling complex movements
C)prevents the release of GABA that inhibits neurons that innervate skeletal muscle cells
D)promotes presynaptic facilitation
E)causes IPSPs to occur on skeletal muscle cell membranes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tetanus toxin prevents the release of GABA, which is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that normally inhibits neurons that innervate skeletal muscle cells. As a result, the toxin causes uncontrolled muscle contractions and can lead to severe muscle spasms and rigidity.
