Acquired myasthenia gravis is associated with muscle weakness. This muscle weakness is caused by:
1 pt Breakdown of skeletal muscle fibers.
2 Damage to the CNS control of muscle movements.
3 Disturbed neuromuscular junction transmission.
4 Loss of functional motor units.
5 Loss of skeletal muscle nerve supply.

1) A. Myosin proteins (which are anions) appear in Jessica's urine. Tell why this is problematic and defend your answer by explaining the mechanism for the protein excretion.
B. In addition to a considerable amount of amino acids and myosin in her urine, Jessica also notices she’s thirstier and has higher urine volume than usual. Describe how her urinary abnormalities could cause this increase in water excretion.
