 Choose the option below which best describes the effect that administration of this compound is likely to have on neuromuscular function:

Answer

Atropine will block acetylcholine binding to receptors on the post synaptic muscle fiber and the force of muscle contraction will be reduced

Answer

Atropine will block acetylcholine binding to receptors on the post synaptic muscle fiber an muscle contraction will be inhibited

Answer

Atropine will have no effect on neuromuscular transmission

Answer

Acetylcholine will hang around longer in the synaptic cleft

Answer

An increase in the number of Na+ channels opening in the post synaptic muscle fiber and an increase in the end plate potential
