Neostigmine is a drug that acts to inhibit acetylcholinesterase. When compared to the absence of the drug, the effect of neostigmine on skeletal muscle will be

The role of the drug neostigmine in the treatment of myasthenia gravis is to partially block the action of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Blocking AChE will therefore result in ______________.Multiple Choiceincreased stimulation of the muscle cellincreased breakdown of acetylcholineincreased removal of acetylcholine from the synapseAll of the choices are correct.

what are cholinergic drugs?. write structure, chemical names and uses of acetylcholine and neostigmine

Physostigmine is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. Which of the following would be a major effect in the peripheral nervous system:  it would increase the effects of cholinergic nerves   it would increase the effects of post-ganglionic sympathetic nerves   it would decrease effects of post-ganglionic sympathetic nerves   it would increase the sensitivity of sensory nerves   it would decrease the effects of cholinergic nerves

The nerve gas sarin acts as a poison by covalently bonding to a hydroxyl group in the active site of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. This binding results in a higher-than-normal amount of acetylcholine at a nerve synapse, resulting in muscle spasms. From this description, would you expect sarin to be a competitive, noncompetitive, or irreversible inhibitor? Select the single best answer.competitive inhibitorirreversible inhibitornoncompetitive inhibitor
