Chronic auto immune disorder affecting neuro muscular junction leading to fatigue, weakening and paralysis of skeletal muscle is called as:
Correct Answer :
Myasthenia gravis
Solution :
Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune disorder that specifically attacks the neuromuscular junction.
In this disease, the immune system produces antibodies that bind to and block the acetylcholine receptors on the post‑synaptic muscle membrane. Because acetylcholine cannot effectively stimulate the muscle fiber, the transmission of the nerve impulse is impaired.
The hallmark clinical features resulting from this impaired transmission are:
These symptoms match the description in the question: “fatigue, weakening and paralysis of skeletal muscle.”
Why the other options are incorrect:
