- DII, III, IV, V
Correct answer
C. I, II, IV, VI

Statements I, II, IV and VI are correct. Myasthemia gravis is an auto immune neuromuscular disease that is cogenital. It leads to muscle weakness. It is caused by circulating antibodies that block acetylcholine receptors at the post-synaptic neuromuscular junction inhibiting the excitatory effects of acetylcholine and nicotic receptors at neuromuscular junctions. First noticeable symptom is weakening of eye muscle leading to drooping of eyelids. It is treated medically with acetylcholine esterase inhibitors or immu
