Minutes after eating a few bites of food in a local restaurant, Mary was unable to breathe and began to experience muscular paralysis. She had ingested food contaminated with botulism, which blocked the action of _____.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Acetylcholine

Explanation:

Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter. It is the substance within the central and peripheral nervous systems. It is the chief neurotransmitter within the brain parasympathetic nervous system. It helps in dilating blood vessels, and contract smooth muscles. It also slows the heart rate and increases body secretion.  

Thus if the action of acetylcholine is blocked, Mary started to slow in-breathe and experience muscular paralysis and contaminated with botulism.
