Introduction Paragraph

Inside of this lab report, the way the nervous system and the way that it functions is covered.
The nervous system is a very important part in sending impulses, feelings, and signals to the
brain while sending out a way to counter against it, such as a reflex. The way it works is that
there are certain nerves in the brain that will be able to do certain tasks at hand ( such as the
acoustic nerves can hear ) but it is possible to disrupt them or cause damage with certain toxins.

Neurotoxin Table ( Table1)

Toxin Effect Animal

Maculotoxin Blocks sodium channels Black widow spider

Latrotoxin latrotoxin Krait

Bungartotoxin Blocks acetylcholine Blue Ringed Octopus

(nicotinic) receptor
