Questions Related to disorders of muscle and skeleton

Which of the following is correctly matched?

zoology locomotion and movement disorders of musculoskeletal system disorders of muscle and skeleton joints and movements

  1. Relaxin- Gigantism

  2. Prolactin- Cretinism

  3. Parathyroid hormone- Tetany

  4. Insulin- Diabetes insipidus

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The correct combination of disease due to hyposecretion of these hormones:-

 Relaxin  Cervical dystocia
 Prolactin   Sheehan syndrome
 Parathyroid hormone  Tetany
 Insulin  Diabetes Mellitus

Tetany is related with parathyroid hormone or parathormone, it is responsible for calcium metabolism, the hyposecretion of parathormone lowers the blood calcium that results in the increasing the excitability of nerves and muscles.

Hypocalcemia (decreased $Ca^{+2}$ level of plasma) can lead to ______________.

zoology locomotion and movement disorders of musculoskeletal system disorders of muscle and skeleton joints and movements

  1. Tetany

  2. Renal calculi

  3. Osteoporosis

  4. Myasthenia gravis

Show answer
Correct Option: A

Imbalances of certain hormones, deficiencies of calcium and vitamin D are the major causative factors of :

zoology locomotion and movement disorders of musculoskeletal system disorders of muscle and skeleton joints and movements

  1. rheumatoid arthritis

  2. osteoporosis

  3. osteoarthritis

  4. gouty arthritis

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The deficiency of calcium and vitamin D are the major causative factor of osteoporosis .

So, the correct option is 'osteoporosis'.

This is diagnose by the presence of a type of IgM

zoology locomotion and movement disorders of musculoskeletal system disorders of muscle and skeleton joints and movements

  1. Osteoporosis

  2. Gout

  3. Osteoarthritis

  4. Rheumatoid arthritis

Show answer
Correct Option: D

In Myasthenia gravis acetylcholine __________________.

zoology locomotion and movement disorders of musculoskeletal system disorders of muscle and skeleton joints and movements

  1. Receptors on motor end plate are reduced

  2. Secretion from nerve terminals is reduced

  3. Esterase activity is inhibited

  4. Secretion from nerve terminals is enhanced

Show answer
Correct Option: A

Which of the following indicates tetany?

zoology locomotion and movement disorders of musculoskeletal system disorders of muscle and skeleton joints and movements

  1. Spasm

  2. Muscular cramps

  3. Tremors

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Tetany is a condition marked by intermittent muscular cramps and spasms, caused by malfunction of parathyroid glands and due to deficiency of calcium. Tremors are also seen. 
So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.

Which of the following are the reasons(s) for rheumatoid arthritis? Choose the correct option
(i) Lymphocytes become more active
(ii) Body attacks self cells
(iii) More antibodies are produced in the body
(iv) The ability to differentiate pathogens or foreign molecules from self cells is lost

zoology locomotion and movement disorders of musculoskeletal system disorders of muscle and skeleton joints and movements

  1. (i) and (ii) 

  2. (ii) and (iv) 

  3. (iii) and (iv)

  4. (i) and (iii)

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Rheumatoid arthritis is chronic pain due to inflammation of the synovial membrane of many joint simultaneously. It usually starts in the small joints in the hand and progressive and centripetal an asymmetric manner.
It involves erosion of the joints. 
The major cause of this the lymphocytes become more active and the body cells lose the ability to differentiate between the self and the foreign cells. The lymphocytes start attacking the body cells.
So, the correct option is '(i) and (ii)'

Which of the following is the correct pairing regarding a specific disorder of muscular or skeletal system ?

zoology locomotion and movement disorders of musculoskeletal system disorders of muscle and skeleton joints and movements

  1. Muscular dystrophy - Age related shortening of muscles

  2. Osteoporosis - Decrease in bone mass and higher chances of fractures with advancing age

  3. Myasthenia gravis - Autoimmune disorder which inhibits sliding of myosin filaments

  4. Gout - Inflammation of joints due to extra deposition of calcium

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease, osteoporosis is the decrease in bone mass, which leads to higher chances of fractures with advancing age.

So, the correct option is 'Osteoporosis - Decrease in bone mass and higher chances of fractures with advancing age'.

Osteoporosis is commonly caused die to:

zoology locomotion and movement disorders of musculoskeletal system disorders of muscle and skeleton joints and movements

  1. decreased level of progesterone

  2. decreased level of oestrogen

  3. increased level of progesterone

  4. increased level of oestrogen

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and brittle — so brittle that a fall or even mild stresses such as bending over or coughing can cause a fracture. Osteoporosis-related fractures most commonly occur in the hip, wrist or spine. So the correct option is 'decreased level of progesterone'.

Paralysis of both lower limbs due to spinal cord damage and not the upper limbs is called as

zoology locomotion and movement disorders of musculoskeletal system disorders of muscle and skeleton joints and movements

  1. Hemiplegia

  2. Quadriplegia

  3. Posterioplegia

  4. Paraplegia

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Paraplegia is an impairment in motor or sensory function of the lower extremities. It is usually the result of spinal cord injury.
