Multiple choice zoology locomotion and movement disorders of musculoskeletal system disorders of muscle and skeleton joints and movements

Select the correct statement about muscular disorder.

  1. Accumulation of urea and creatine in joints

  2. An overdose of vitamin D causes osteoporosis

  3. Rapid contraction of skeletal muscles causes dystrophy

  4. Failure of neuromuscular transmission in myasthenia gravis can prevent normal swallowing
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
  • Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which tissue injury is caused by humoral (autoantibodies) or cell-mediated (by autoreactive T cells) immune response to self-antigens.
  • Myasthenia gravis is caused by an autoantibody against muscle antigen and acetylcholine receptor antigen.
  • It is characterized by increased muscular weakness the make one fatigue. speaking, breathing and talking becomes tired some. The failure of neuromuscular transmission in myasthenia gravis can prevent normal swallowing.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Failure of neuromuscular transmission in myasthenia gravis can prevent normal swallowing'.

Which of the following is correctly matched?

  1. Relaxin- Gigantism

  2. Prolactin- Cretinism

  3. Parathyroid hormone- Tetany

  4. Insulin- Diabetes insipidus
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The correct combination of disease due to hyposecretion of these hormones:-

 Relaxin  Cervical dystocia
 Prolactin   Sheehan syndrome
 Parathyroid hormone  Tetany
 Insulin  Diabetes Mellitus

Tetany is related with parathyroid hormone or parathormone, it is responsible for calcium metabolism, the hyposecretion of parathormone lowers the blood calcium that results in the increasing the excitability of nerves and muscles.

Hypocalcemia (decreased $Ca^{+2}$ level of plasma) can lead to ______________.

  1. Tetany

  2. Renal calculi

  3. Osteoporosis

  4. Myasthenia gravis
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Hypocalcemia refers to low levels of calcium in the blood. Calcium is essential for muscle contraction and nerve function; low levels lead to increased neuromuscular excitability, resulting in tetany (involuntary muscle spasms).

Imbalances of certain hormones, deficiencies of calcium and vitamin D are the major causative factors of :

  1. rheumatoid arthritis

  2. osteoporosis

  3. osteoarthritis

  4. gouty arthritis
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The deficiency of calcium and vitamin D are the major causative factor of osteoporosis .

So, the correct option is 'osteoporosis'.

This is diagnose by the presence of a type of IgM

  1. Osteoporosis

  2. Gout

  3. Osteoarthritis

  4. Rheumatoid arthritis
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the joints. A common diagnostic marker is the presence of rheumatoid factor, which is typically an IgM antibody.

In Myasthenia gravis acetylcholine __________________.

  1. Receptors on motor end plate are reduced

  2. Secretion from nerve terminals is reduced

  3. Esterase activity is inhibited

  4. Secretion from nerve terminals is enhanced
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease where antibodies block or destroy acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction. This prevents muscle contraction signals from being effectively received.

Which of the following indicates tetany?

  1. Spasm

  2. Muscular cramps

  3. Tremors

  4. All of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
Tetany is a condition marked by intermittent muscular cramps and spasms, caused by malfunction of parathyroid glands and due to deficiency of calcium. Tremors are also seen. 
So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.

Which of the following are the reasons(s) for rheumatoid arthritis? Choose the correct option
(i) Lymphocytes become more active
(ii) Body attacks self cells
(iii) More antibodies are produced in the body
(iv) The ability to differentiate pathogens or foreign molecules from self cells is lost

  1. (i) and (ii)

  2. (ii) and (iv)

  3. (iii) and (iv)

  4. (i) and (iii)
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Rheumatoid arthritis is chronic pain due to inflammation of the synovial membrane of many joint simultaneously. It usually starts in the small joints in the hand and progressive and centripetal an asymmetric manner.
It involves erosion of the joints. 
The major cause of this the lymphocytes become more active and the body cells lose the ability to differentiate between the self and the foreign cells. The lymphocytes start attacking the body cells.
So, the correct option is '(i) and (ii)'

Multiple choice zoology locomotion and movement disorders of musculoskeletal system disorders of muscle and skeleton joints and movements

Which of the following is the correct pairing regarding a 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 - Autoimmune disorder which inhibits sliding of myosin filaments

  4. Gout - Inflammation of joints due to extra deposition of calcium
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease, osteoporosis is the decrease in bone mass, which leads to higher chances of fractures with advancing age.

So, the correct option is 'Osteoporosis - Decrease in bone mass and higher chances of fractures with advancing age'.

Osteoporosis is commonly caused die to:

  1. decreased level of progesterone

  2. decreased level of oestrogen

  3. increased level of progesterone

  4. increased level of oestrogen
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and brittle — so brittle that a fall or even mild stresses such as bending over or coughing can cause a fracture. Osteoporosis-related fractures most commonly occur in the hip, wrist or spine. So the correct option is 'decreased level of progesterone'.
