Clostridium Tetani
-
Physiology
Organ Systems Functions
Nervous system: produces a toxin called tetanfospamin, this toxin blocks the serve signals from your spinal cord to your muscles
-
-
-
-
Excitatory: EPSPs, temporary depolarization of postsynaptic membrane potential caused by the flow of positive ions
Inhibitory: IPSPs, a negative flow of ions into the cell
Upstream effects
Direct: Patient needs blood work done so we can see if the muscle spasms in his arm and face are from bacteria from his tattoo
-
Direct: Tetanus neurotoxin binds to the presynaptic membrane of the neuromuscular junction. Its kept inside and transported to the spinal cord.
-
Summation occurs when stimulus added together to produce stronger muscle contraction. Tetanus is a fusion of contractions to produce a continuous contraction.
Excitation- contraction coupling is the link between action potential generated in the sarcolemma and the start of a muscle contraction.
