← Nature & AnimalsWhich effect is caused in prey after elapid snake venom injection?
A)Postsynaptic neurotoxins induce receptor paralysis✓
B)Hyaluronidase enzymes degrade extracellular structure
C)Cytotoxins trigger rapid cellular autophagy
D)Anticoagulants deplete circulating fibrinogen reserves
💡 Explanation
Paralysis occurs because venom contains postsynaptic neurotoxins activating neuromuscular blockade, therefore preventing muscle contraction, rather than hyaluronidase enhancing venom spread, autophagy causing tissue death, or anticoagulants preventing blood clotting.
