Antibodies attack neuromuscular junctions in what?
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.
What is a neuromuscular disorder characterized by relapsing weakness of skeletal muscles?
Myasthenia gravis
What is a chronic autoimmune disorder in which the motor neurons fail to transmit impulses to the muscles to cause muscle contractions?
A chronic autoimmune disease that affects the neuromuscular junction is myasthenia gravis. It leads to fluctuating muscle weakness and fatigue.
What is inclusive body myositis?
Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is an inflammatory muscle disease characterized by progressive muscle weakness and wasting. The common feature of IBM is the abnormal finding of inclusion bodies, or granular material, in muscle fibers.

Strengths and weaknesses of CAT scans?
a cats weakness is ventroflexion of the neck is a common presentation in cats with neuromuscular causes of acute weakness.
What is a chronic progressive neuromuscular disorder that causes severe skeletal muscle weakness?
myasthenia gravis
What diseases can you find in the muscular system?
Poliomyelitis - viral infection of the nerves that control skeletal muscle movement Muscular Dystrophies - (most commonly a mutation of dystrophin) muscle function is impaired, causing weakness Myasthenia Gravis - autoimmune disease affecting the neuromuscular junction.
What is affected in myasthenia gravis?
It is an autoimmune neuromuscular disease, characterized by muscle weakness and fatiguability. Where antibodies are directed against the muscle's own acetylcholine receptors that stimulates its contraction. Leading to increasing weakness of the body muscles during periods of activity; since the muscle contracts less at every stimulus.MG is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease characterized by degrees of weakness of the skeletal muscles of the body which increases during periods of activity and improves after periods of rest.
What are possible side effects of neuromuscular blockers?
After completion of the surgical procedure, headache , nausea, muscle soreness, and muscle weakness are the most frequently reported side effects attributed to neuromuscular blockers.
What is an anuerysm?
An aneurysm is an abnormal widening or ballooning of a portion of an artery due to weakness in the wall of the blood vessel
What are some causes of a limp?
There are several causes of a limp. Often it is caused by pain, weakness, neuromuscular imbalance or a skeletal deformity. However, the most common cause of a limp is physical trauma.
What is thyrotoxic myopathy?
a neuromuscular disorder that occurs due to overproduction of thyroid hormone and is characterized by excessive fatigability, muscle wasting and weakness. It mainly affects muscles of the shoulder, hips and hands.
Is myasthenia gravis a group of inherited muscle disorders that cause muscle weakness without affecting the nervous system?
Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular disorder involving the muscles and the nerves that control them.
