← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a snake envenomates a small mammal?
A)Systemic vasodilation from venom metalloproteinases✓
B)Increased nerve conduction acetylcholine interference
C)Muscle rigidity by potassium voltage blockage
D)Seizures due to sodium channel potentiation
💡 Explanation
Snake venoms contain metalloproteinases, causing systemic vasodilation and therefore, lowers blood pressure dramatically, leading to circulatory shock and immobilization, rather than acetylcholine interference, blockage of potassium or sodium channels that affect nerve functions.
