Progressive degeneration of skeletal muscle mostly due to genetic disorder is called:
1. | Myasthenia gravis | 2. | Muscular dystrophy |
3. | Poliomyelitis | 4. | Muscle hyperplasia |
Hypocalcaemia can lead to:
1. | Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy | 2. | Tetany |
3. | Renal calculi | 4. | Myasthenia gravis |
1. | arthritis in multiple joints of the body |
2. | wild contractions in muscle due to low Ca2+ in body fluid |
3. | flaccid paralysis due to high K+ in body fluid |
4. | atrophy of muscle due to prolonged disuse |

Select the correct statement regarding the specific disorder of muscular or skeletal system.
1. | Muscular dystrophy - age related shortening of muscles |
2. | Osteoporosis- decrease in bone mass and higher chances of fractures with advancing age |
3. | Myasthenia gravis- auto immune disorder which inhibits sliding of myosin filaments |
4. | Gout- inflammation of joints due to extra deposition of calcium |
