b
(b) : Muscular dystrophy is characterised by progressive skeletal muscle weakness, defects in muscle proteins and the death of muscle cells and tissue.Myasthenia gravis is an auto­immune neuromuscular disease in which muscle becomes weak, which is caused by circulating antibodies that block acetylcholine receptors at the postsynaptic neuromuscular junction inhibiting the excitatory effects of the acetylcholine.
