Why are muscles so weak in people with myasthenia gravis?
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction, impairing communication between nerves and muscles. This leads to muscle weakness and fatigue, as the muscles do not receive the necessary signals to contract effectively. The weakness often worsens with activity and improves with rest, reflecting the inability of the affected muscles to sustain prolonged use.
Which chronic autoimmune disease produces serious weakness of the voluntary muscles?
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease marked by muscle weakness and fatigue. The symptoms are activated when the immune system produces antibodies that interfere with the transmission of nerve signals to skeletal (voluntary) muscle. As a result, the affected muscles cannot contract normally.
