Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular disease involving antibodies against the postsynaptic acetylcholine receptors.
Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome is another type of neuromuscular disease involving antibodies against the presynaptic voltage-gated calcium channels.
Both diseases involve weakness with activity and are diagnosed by electrodiagnostic testing and other laboratory testing.
ACH
skeletal muscle
Synaptic end bulbs
neuromuscular junctions
Neurons transmit signals to one another via synapses. Considering there are gaps at the synapse, how do these neurons stay in place? Same for neuromuscular junctions.
False; myasthenia gravis.

An agrin is a protein involved in the neuromuscular junctions during embryonic development.
