Myasthenia gravis is a disease that disrupts movement by blocking ACh receptors, preventing them from opening. What is the effect of this disease on movement and why? Be sure to list the steps involved in muscular activity starting at the motor endplate and ending with the cross bridge formation between actin and myosin (do not include the contraction cycle). How might you try to correct this problem?

Poisonous nerve gases such as sarin work by breaking down AChE (acetylcholinesterase) at nerve-muscle synapses. What do you think is the effect of nerve gas on the muscles? Why? Be sure to include a discussion of the steps that occur in the nerve and motor end plate during transmission at the neuromuscular junction and the role of AChE in normal synaptic transmission. Propose a way to counteract the effects of nerve gas (besides getting rid of the gas itself).

Julie is a white, 35 year old mother of two who went to see her gynecologist after feeling increasingly fatigued over the last 3 months or so. She has had trouble keeping up with the activities of her young children and working full-time. She does not take any medications, but did recently start a multivitamin in hopes it would increase her energy. Her weight has been stable, she has had no changes in her diet or sleep habits, except for recently she started eating ice. Her past medical history and family history are negative. She does not smoke, drink or do any illicit drugs. On physical test she was found to have pale conjunctiva, spooning of her nails, and her stools were negative for occult blood. Her doctor ordered a CBC which showed a hemoglobin of 8.2 g/dL, hematocrit of 26%, RBC count of 3.5 million/uL, MCV 74.2fL, WBC count of 6,400/uL. Based off of these results her doctor diagnosed Julie with anemia.

Marie Curie was a famous French-Polish scientist known for her pioneering research on radioactivity. Her work not only brought her fame but her death as well; she developed aplastic anemia due to radiation exposure. She experienced recurrent and prolonged infections (viral, bacterial, parasitic, and fungal). Explain why she suffered from recurrent infections. Be sure to mention the different types of WBC and the relation to the various infections, and the reasons why she lacked the cell-mediated and the humeral response.
