Myasthenia gravis is caused by:

  • A Dopamine deficiency in the substantia nigra region of the midbrain
  • B Autoimmune attack on acetylcholine receptors at neuromuscular junction
  • C Progressive loss of the myelin sheath surrounding central nervous system axons
  • D Excess GABA accumulation occurring at inhibitory central nervous synapses

Correct answer: B. Autoimmune attack on acetylcholine receptors at neuromuscular junction

Explanation: Myasthenia gravis: autoimmune disease. Antibodies block or destroy acetylcholine receptors at NMJ. Causes muscle weakness, especially with repeated use.

Concept context

Brain, spinal cord, neurons, reflex arcs, and sense organs.
