Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Autoimmune disease caused due to non-secretion of acetylcholine at neuromusclar junction.
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease that destroys the skeletal muscles responsible for actions such as swallowing, breathing, etc. It is caused due to the inability of muscles to respond to the nerve impulse due to the destruction of the receptors of acetylcholine on them. The acetylcholine is secreted from the neurons at the neuromuscular junction which is not perceived by the muscles as their receptors have been destroyed by the antibodies.Hence, the correct answer is 'Autoimmune disease, caused due to non-conduction of impulses at neural junction'
