Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Botox works by blocking the release of acetylcholine (ACh), which is essential for muscle contraction. Therefore, if Carlos had Botox injected into his leg muscles, he would be unable to move them because his muscles wouldn't be able to receive the signal to contract, causing a paralysis-like effect.
