MediumMCQ
Which of the following is an autoimmune disorder?
A
Myasthenia gravis
B
Osteoporosis
C
Tetany
D
Muscular dystrophy

Solution

(A) $Myasthenia \text{ } gravis$ is an autoimmune disorder affecting the neuromuscular junction, leading to fatigue, weakening, and paralysis of skeletal muscles. It occurs due to the production of antibodies against acetylcholine receptors. $Osteoporosis$ is an age-related disorder characterized by decreased bone mass. $Tetany$ is caused by low $Ca^{2+}$ levels in body fluid. $Muscular \text{ } dystrophy$ is a genetic disorder resulting in progressive degeneration of skeletal muscle.
52
MediumMCQ
Which of the following is incorrect regarding osteoporosis?
A
It is an age-related disorder.
B
Bone mass decreases.
C
Chances of fractures increase.
D
Increased levels of estrogen cause this condition.

Solution

(D) Osteoporosis is an age-related disorder characterized by decreased bone mass and increased chances of fractures. It is primarily caused by decreased levels of estrogen,not increased levels. Therefore,option $D$ is incorrect.
53
MediumMCQ
Gout is a type of disorder which leads to:
A
Inflammation of joints due to accumulation of uric acid crystals
B
Weakening of bones due to decreased bone mass
C
Inflammation of joints due to cartilage degeneration
D
Weakening of bones due to low calcium level

Solution

(A) Gout is a metabolic disorder of the skeletal system.
It is caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints.
This accumulation leads to inflammation,swelling,and severe pain in the affected joints.
Therefore,the correct option is $A$.
54
MediumMCQ
Which of the following disorders affects the neuromuscular junction $(\text{NMJ})$ leading to fatigue,weakening,and paralysis of skeletal muscle?
A
Myasthenia gravis
B
Muscular dystrophy
C
Osteoporosis
D
Tetany

Solution

(A) Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder that affects the neuromuscular junction $(\text{NMJ})$.
In this condition,antibodies are produced against acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction,which leads to the blockage of nerve impulses.
This results in fatigue,weakening,and paralysis of skeletal muscles.
Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder resulting in progressive degeneration of skeletal muscle.
Osteoporosis is an age-related disorder characterized by decreased bone mass and increased chances of fractures.
Tetany is the rapid spasms in muscle due to low calcium levels in body fluid.
55
MediumMCQ
In case of severe tetany in muscle,the animal dies due to:
A
Multiple fractures in bones
B
Excessive spasm of limb muscles and destruction of muscle fibres
C
Asphyxia
D
Excessive clotting in blood

Solution

(C) Tetany is a condition characterized by intermittent muscle spasms,which is often caused by low levels of calcium $(Ca^{2+})$ in the body fluids. In severe cases of tetany,the spasms can affect the respiratory muscles,such as the diaphragm and intercostal muscles. When these muscles undergo prolonged and severe spasms,the individual is unable to breathe properly,leading to a lack of oxygen supply to the body. This condition,known as asphyxia,eventually results in death.
56
EasyMCQ
Deposition of . . . . . . in the joints causes gout.
A
Urea
B
Uric acid
C
Guanine
D
Ammonia

Solution

(B) Gout is a type of inflammatory arthritis that occurs when high levels of uric acid in the blood crystallize and deposit in the joints.
These crystals,known as monosodium urate crystals,trigger an immune response,leading to pain,swelling,and inflammation in the affected joints.
Therefore,the correct answer is $B$ (Uric acid).

MediumMCQ
Match List-$I$ with List-$II$ related to the muscular/skeletal system:
List-$I$List-$II$
$A$. Tetany$I$. Inflammation of joints
$B$. Arthritis$II$. Autoimmune disorder affecting neuromuscular junction
$C$. Myasthenia gravis$III$. Wild contraction in muscle due to low $Ca^{++}$ in body fluid
$D$. Muscular dystrophy$IV$. Progressive degeneration of skeletal muscle

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A
$(1)$ $A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I$
B
$(2)$ $A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV$
C
$(3)$ $A-I, B-IV, C-III, D-II$
D
$(4)$ $A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV$

Solution

(B) The correct matching is as follows:
$(A)$ Tetany is caused by low levels of $Ca^{++}$ in body fluids,leading to wild contractions $(III)$.
$(B)$ Arthritis is the inflammation of joints $(I)$.
$(C)$ Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder affecting the neuromuscular junction $(II)$.
$(D)$ Muscular dystrophy is the progressive degeneration of skeletal muscles $(IV)$.
Thus,the correct matching is $A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV$.
