89
Local anesthetic works by...?
inhibiting nerve depolarization by blocking Na. LA cation dissociates into the base and H ions, the base molecule diffuses through the lipid nerve sheath, then binds with H to form a cation which then blocks the Na receptor channel thus blocking Na penetration in the nerve sheath and preventing depolarization.
90
What happens if it has a more acidic environment with regards to LA?
More acidic environment means more H ions so there will be less base form present there for less base to diffuse across the membrane
91
Why can the Base ion (RN) dissociate then cross the membrane?
because it is lipophilic
