Which statement describes the primary difference between centrally acting muscle relaxants and direct-acting antispasmodics?
1. Centrally acting agents inhibit neurons of the central nervous system, while direct-acting agents stimulate neurons of the central nervous system.
2. Centrally acting agents stimulate neurons of the central nervous system, while direct-acting agents stimulate neurons of the peripheral nervous system.
3. Centrally acting agents inhibit neurons of the central nervous system, while direct-acting agents work at the level of the neuromuscular junction and skeletal muscles.
4. Centrally acting agents stimulate the central nervous system, while direct-acting agents inhibit neuronal conduction of the central nervous system.
3
Rationale 1: Direct-acting agents do not work at the level of the neuromuscular junction and skeletal muscles.
Rationale 2: Centrally acting agents inhibit neurons of the central nervous system.
Rationale 3: Centrally acting agents inhibit neurons of the central nervous system, while direct-acting agents work at the level of the neuromuscular junction and skeletal muscles.
Rationale 4: Centrally acting agents inhibit neurons of the central nervous system.
Global Rationale: Centrally acting agents inhibit neurons of the central nervous system, while direct-acting agents work at the level of the neuromuscular junction and skeletal muscles.
