Question:

B. Depolarizing agents

Author: Suzuki



Answer:

Depolarizing blocking agents work by depolarizing the plasma membrane of the muscle fiber, similar to the action of ACh. However, these agents are more resistant to degradation by AChE, and can thus more persistently depolarize the muscle fibers. Succinylcholine is the only depolarizing muscle relaxant in use today.
