Which one of the following disorder of bones is characterized by microarchitectural deterioration of the bone, increased fragility, and prone to fracture?
1. Osteoarthritis
2. Gouty arthritis
3. Osteoporosis
4. Rheumatoid arthritis
Which of the following is not a disorder of muscular and skeletal system?
(1) Gout
(2) Myasthenia gravis
(3) Tetany
(4) Fibrosis
Select the correct statement regarding the specific disorder of muscular or skeletal system
1. Myasthenia gravis- Autoimmune disorder which inhibits sliding of myosin filaments
2. Gout-inflammation of joints due to extra deposition of calcium
3. Muscular dystrophy-Age related shortening of muscles
4. Osteoporosis-Decrease in bone mass and higher chances of fractures with advancing age
Consider the following statements:
I. | Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder affecting the neuromuscular junction |
II. | Muscular dystrophy is a progressive degeneration of skeletal muscles mostly due to a genetic disorder |
III. | Tetany is rapid spasms in muscles due to high Ca++ in body fluid. |
Which of the above statements are true?
1. I and II only
2. I and III only
3. II and III only
4. I, II and III
