By binding to nicotinic cholinergic receptors,this drug produces paralysis and death:
A) atropine.

D) morphine.
E) belladonna.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Curare is a neuromuscular blocking agent that binds to the nicotinic cholinergic receptors in the neuromuscular junction, preventing acetylcholine from binding and causing muscle paralysis. This can lead to respiratory failure and death if left untreated. Atropine, chlordiazepoxide, morphine, and belladonna do not act on nicotinic cholinergic receptors in this way, and would not produce the same effects as curare.
