Clostridium tetani (neuromuscular junction- action potential reaches an…

- - - - ACh meets with motor endplates the depolarize and sodium goes to the muscle cell
        
        impulses travel through T tubules
        
        calcium ions release from SR
        
        calcium binds with troponin
      - ACh is also the neurotransmitter involved in triggering muscle contraction
        
        twitch:has a contraction phase and a relaxation phase
        
        summation:successive stimuli are added together to produce a stronger muscle contraction
        
        tetanus:a continues contraction
  - - - releases the vesicle contents outside the cell
        
        toxins produce: tetanolysin, which causes local tissue destruction, and tetanospasmin, which causes clinical tetanus.
        
        there is a blockage of release of neurotransmitters
- - - - integumentary system: first line of defense protection, prevents water loss and szensation
        
        lympatic system: returns fluid to blood or circulation
- - - - can interfere or stop breathing
        
        could send into cardiac arrest
        
        pneumonia
