Is muscular dystrophy and duchenne muscular dystrophy the same?
Muscular dystrophy can appear in infancy up to middle age or later, and its form and severity are determined in part by the age at which it occurs. Some types of muscular dystrophy affect only males; some people with MD enjoy a normal life span with mild symptoms that progress very slowly; others experience swift and severe muscle weakness and wasting, dying in their late teens to early 20s.
Compare between sympathetic and parasympathetic in reflex arc?
In parasympathetic reflex arc the preganglionic nerve fibre is longer than post ganglionic fibre, that is the synapse occur near the organ or tissue. While in sympathetic reflex arc both the pre and post have moderate sizes. The postganglionic fibre of parasympathetic always secrete acetylcholine as nuerotransmitter while postganglionic fibre of sympatheic reflex arc mostly secrete norepinephrine or epinephrine as nuerotransmitter. Some nerve fibres may secrete acetylcholine. For example postganglionic sympatehtic nerve fibres of sweat glands, pilorectal muscles and few blood vessels

How is reflex handled in the nervous system?
I'm not positive, but I think that reflexes are controlled by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). The sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which is part of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The SNS is responsible for fight-or-flight responses. For example, if you see a shark coming directly at you, you decide to try to either get away from it (flight) or fight it off (fight). Reflexes are mediated by reflex arcs, which are neural pathways. Some sensory neurons pass directly to the synapse of the spinal cord, rather than the brain. This allows reflexes to occur relatively quickly.
What type of birth disporder is Duchenne muscular dystrophy?
Some disorders are linked to the sex-determining chromosomes passed along by parents.Duchenne muscular dystrophy, which causes muscle weakness.carried on the X chromosome
What lab tests are used to diagnose muscular dystrophy?
Blood level of the muscle enzyme creatine kinase (CK). CK levels rise in the blood due to muscle damage, and may be seen in some conditions even before symptoms appear. Muscle biopsy
