How Stretching a Skeletal Muscle Increases Tone: The Role of Muscle Spindles and Motor Neurons
When a skeletal muscle with an intact nerve supply is stretched, the muscle contracts and the tone increases. The following explanations are offered for this observation: A. Golgi tendon organ […]

A myasthenia gravis patient develops muscle paralysis because (1) the nerve terminal at the neuromuscular junction fails to release acetylcholine. (2) although enough acetylcholine is released at the neuromuscular junction, […]
Causes of Paralysis in Primary Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis: The Role of Potassium and Sodium Channels
A patient has episodes of painful spontaneous muscles contraction, followed by periods of paralysis of the affected muscles. It was identified as primary hyperkalemic paralysis, an inherited disorder. The possible […]
