Local anesthetic drugs such as lidocaine block sodium ion channels in the neuron plasma membrane from opening. what effect would this have on action potential generation and conduction

Respuesta :

The anaesthetic drug would block the propagation of signal as it is transmitted from the cell membranes of the neurones. the compound Lidocaine is responsible for the alteration of the ability of the neurones to conduct signals. The action potential would not be transmitted due to these.
