Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Myasthenia gravis is a condition characterized by muscle weakness and fatigue due to an insufficient amount of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter, at neuromuscular junctions. This results in a breakdown in communication between nerve impulses and muscle contractions. Guillain-Barré syndrome is an autoimmune disorder that affects the peripheral nervous system and leads to muscle weakness and paralysis. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects the central nervous system and causes damage to the myelin sheath of nerve cells. Shingles is a viral infection that affects the peripheral nerves and causes a painful rash. None of these conditions are specifically related to an insufficient neurotransmitter at a synapse.
