    tetanus
  51. (Mechanisms of Disease)

    This bacterium released a toxin called tetanospasmin that triggers overactivity of the nervous system, often involving painful spasms of the muscles throughout the body

    is not a single disorder but a group of genetic diseases characterized by atropy (wasting) of skeletal muscle tissues
    Muscular Dystrophy
  54. (Mechanisms of Disease)

    form of muscular dystrophy. this disease is also called pseudohypertrophy (meaning "false muscle growth") because the atrophy of muscle is masked by excessive replacement of muscle by fat and fibrous tissue

  55. (Mechanisms of Disease)

    a chronic disease characterized by muscle weakness, especially in the face and throat. Is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks muscle cells at the neuromuscluar junction
