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.

What is a chronic autoimmune disorder in which the motor neurons fail to transmit impulses to the muscles to cause muscle contractions?

What is a chronic autoimmune disease where the body produces antibodies that stick to the body and own cells causing the body to attack itself is called?
A chronic autoimmune disease where the body produces antibodies that attack its own cells is known as an autoimmune disorder. Examples include rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis. In these conditions, the immune system mistakenly identifies healthy cells as foreign invaders, leading to inflammation and tissue damage. The exact cause of these diseases can vary and often involves a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

What type of immune response is always disadvantageous to a person?
An autoimmune response is always disadvantageous to a person, as it involves the immune system attacking the body's own healthy cells and tissues. This can lead to chronic inflammation, tissue damage, and various autoimmune diseases.

Crohn's disease.
What is Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy?
Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) is a neurological disorder characterized by progressive weakness and impaired sensory function due to damage to the myelin sheath that insulates nerve fibers. It is believed to be an autoimmune condition, where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the peripheral nerves. Symptoms often include muscle weakness, numbness, and fatigue, and they can vary in severity. Treatment typically involves immunotherapy, such as corticosteroids or intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), to reduce inflammation and improve nerve function.
