Question
Discussion Topic #1 (plus Rubric): Myasthenia Gravis
Answer the following questions for this discussion board assignment:
- What is the problem for patients with MG?
- How does MG impact the normal mechanisms involved in the neuromuscular junction and, eventually, skeletal muscle contraction? **Discuss the the NORMAL mechanism at the NMJ for both neurotransmitter release at the presynaptic motor neuron AND the mechanism for skeletal muscle fiber contraction**
- Based on your understanding of the normal physiology mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction and the pathophysiology of MG, how do treatments using acetylcholinesterase inhibitors help MG patients?
