Answer» RIGHT choice is (a) True For EXPLANATION I would say: Administration of general anesthetics decreases the presynaptic Ca^2+ entry, thus decreases the NEUROTRANSMITTER release. It INCREASES postsynaptic Cl^– entry and also increases postsynaptic K^+ leakage from the cell. Local anesthetics help block conduction. It decreases the axonal Na+ entry thus prevents ACTION potential propagation. |
