Mg Kg Neuromuscular Junction
2,659 wordsNeuromuscular blocking agents are an essential aspect of attaining adequate muscle relaxation in patients prior to attempting endotracheal intubation. Succinylcholine is one these agents used, most commonly when attempting a rapid sequence induction. Succinylcholine administration is associated with muscle fasciculation's and subsequent myalgias postoperatively. A non depolarizing neuromuscular agent is commonly administered to reduce the occurance of fasciculation's and myalgias. Additionally, ...

Nitrous Oxide Neuromuscular Junction
1,553 wordsAnesthesia is a partial or complete loss of sensation or feeling induced by the admin- is tration of various substances. For many decade, people have used one form of an anesthetic during surgical procedures. Some people also use some of these anesthetics as recreational drugs, e. g. laughing gas (a. k. a. Nitrous Oxide). The term anesthetic literally means "without feeling." There are many different types of anesthesia, but they are usually put into three groups. These groups are gene- ral anes...

Shown In Figure Neuromuscular Junction
1,660 wordsProteins involved in formation of the neuromuscular junction The neuromuscular junction is a specialized junction, where a motor nerve forms its synaptic terminal with a muscle fibre, one of many fibres that make up a whole muscle. The mature neuromuscular junction is composed of three types of cells - a motor nerve terminal, a muscle fibre and a Schwann cell covering the junction. All three of these cells are highly differentiated and specialized for their functions (Kandel 2000, p. 1089). The ...

Amp Amp Neuromuscular Junction
1,706 words... e effects would lead to a decrease in the safety factor for neuromuscular transmission. The safety factor is the difference between the threshold needed to elicit an action potential, which is usually around - 45 mV and the actual end-plate potential amplitude, which is usually 70 - 80 mV, this is shown in figure 5. As a result of the reduced number of functional A ChR, the skeletal muscle becomes weakened. This weakness has four special characteristics: 1. It generally affects the cranial m...
