Which of the following options correctly matches the skeletal or muscular disorder with its primarily affected tissue or location and its underlying chemical or physiological trigger?

Options

  1. AGout Joints Accumulation of urea crystals
  2. BOsteoporosis Bone Increased levels of estrogen
  3. CTetany Muscle Low Ca⁺⁺ in body fluid
  4. DMyasthenia gravis Neuromuscular junction Genetic defect

Correct answer

C. Tetany Muscle Low Ca⁺⁺ in body fluid

Step-by-step solution

Tetany is characterised by rapid spasms (wild contractions) in muscle due to low Ca⁺⁺ in body fluid. Gout is the inflammation of joints due to the accumulation of uric acid crystals, not urea. Osteoporosis is an age-related disorder characterised by decreased bone mass, and a common cause is decreased (not increased) levels of estrogen. Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder, not a genetic defect, that affects the neuromuscular junction. Answer: Tetany Muscle Low Ca⁺⁺ in body fluid
