When you add Tetanus toxin to your preparation, the muscle contracts but then remains contracted and stops responding to the electric stimulus, why? Tetanus toxin prevents the binding of ACh Tetanus toxin disrupts the release of presynaptic vesicles Tetanus toxin disrupts the release of ACh leading to continious stimulation
