Myasthenia gravis and other myoneural disorders - what does this mean
Myasthenia gravis and other myoneural disorders are caused by an autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the receptors for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, resulting in muscle weakness and fatigue.
What happens during the disease - myasthenia gravis and other myoneural disorders
Myasthenia gravis and other myoneural disorders are caused by an abnormal immune response, where the body's own antibodies attack and destroy the acetylcholine receptors on the surface of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. this leads to an inability of the nerve cells to send signals to the muscles, resulting in muscle weakness and fatigue. in some cases, the antibodies may also attack other parts of the nervous system, resulting in additional symptoms such as difficulty speaking or swallowing.
