How does succinylcholine interfere with neuromuscular transmission?

Show Answers

By preventing the breakdown of acetylcholineBy suppressing central nervous system activityBy causing depolarization of the skeletal muscle motor end plateBy inhibiting acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junctionBy blocking postsynaptic acetylcholine receptors

Explanation

Succinylcholine blocks neuromuscular transmission by depolarizing the motor end plate of skeletal muscle, which initially causes muscle contraction followed by paralysis due to sustained depolarization. It does not inhibit cholinesterase, suppress the CNS, or block acetylcholine release.
