Question

which of the following statements describes how the inhibition of the action of acetylcholinesterase would affect the events that takes place at the neuromuscular junction?

Answer 1

ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE INHIBITORS. AChE inhibitors or anti-cholinesterases inhibit the cholinesterase enzyme from breaking down ACh, increasing both the level and duration of the neurotransmitter action. According to the mode of action, AChE inhibitors can be divided into two groups: irreversible and reversible.An acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChEI) is the inhibitor that inhibits acetylcholinesterase from breaking down acetylcholine into choline and acetate, thereby increasing both the level and duration of action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the central nervous system, autonomic ganglia and neuromuscular junction acetylcholinesterase inhibitors increase the amount of acetylcholine available and so help muscle activation and contraction
