Which consequence arises when tetanus toxin inhibits synaptic vesicles' fusion?

💡 Explanation

Tetanus toxin impairs synaptic vesicle fusion in inhibitory neurons, resulting in unchecked excitatory signals in motor neurons. This prevents muscle relaxation because normal neurotransmitter release is blocked; therefore, severe muscle spasms occur rather than controlled movements.
