on with 0 comments



The correct answer is A


The neuromuscular blockade by the classic pathway (depolarizing), begins when a drug binds to the a subunit of the nicotinic receptors like the molecule of AcetylCholinesterase does. In the beginning, an initial opening of the ion channel produces a contraction (fasciculation). After this, the depolarization of muscular membrane is sustained (persistent depolarization), since the drug is not broken by acetylcholinesterase, leading to neuromuscular block.
