Chronic auto immune disorder affecting neuro muscular junction leading to fatigue, weakening and paralysis of skeletal muscle is called as:
| 1. | Myasthenia gravis | 2. | Gout |
| 3. | Arthritis | 4. | Muscular dystrophy |
Match the following columns and select the correct option:
| Column I | Column II | ||
| (a) | Gout | (i) | Decreased levels of estrogen |
| (b) | Osteoporosis | (ii) | Low Ca++ ions in the blood |
| (c) | Tetany | (iii) | Accumulation of uric acid crystals |
| (d) | Muscular dystrophy | (iv) | Autoimmune disorder |
| (v) | Genetic disorder |

| Assertion (A): | Osteoporosis is characterised by decreased bone mass and increased chances of fractures. |
| Reason (R): | Common cause of osteoporosis is increased levels of estrogen. |
| 1. | (A) is not correct but (R) is correct. |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 4. | (A) is correct but (R) is not correct. |
| 1. | Muscular dystrophy | An auto immune disorder causing progressive degeneration of skeletal muscle |
| 2. | Arthritis | Inflamed joints |
| 3. | Tetany | high Ca2+ level causing rapid spasms. |
| 4. | Myasthenia gravis | Genetic disorder resulting in weakening and paralysis of skeletal muscle |
Which of the following is correct statement ?
| 1. | Actin and regulatory proteins are located in thin filament. |
| 2. | Z-lines anchor myosin (thick) filament to the ends of the sarcomere. |
| 3. | Sarcoplasmic reticulum stores acetylcholine. |
| 4. | Myosin cross bridges contain calcium binding sites. |
| 1. | Actin and myosin filaments slide over each other to increase the length of the sarcomere. |
| 2. | Length of A–band does not change. |
| 3. | I–band increases in length |
| 4. | The actin filaments slide away from A–band resulting in shortening of sarcomere |
