A researcher was examining some arrows sent from South America. He accidentally stuck himself with one of the arrows and after a while started to notice muscle weakness. He went to the hospital immediately. Electrical recordings from nerves innervating muscles in his arm indicated normal frequencies and amplitudes of impulses when stimulated; however, nerve-induced contractions of the muscles were weak. When the muscles were stimulated directly, normal contractions occurred. The muscle weakness most likely was due to
    A. Decreased ability of ACh to stimulate the muscle fibers.

    B. Decreased ability of calcium to bind to troponin in the muscle fibers.

    C. Decreased ability of the muscle to produce ATP.

    D. Decreased ability of the muscle to undergo summation and tetanus.

    E. Depletion of intracellular calcium.
