When acetylcholine binds to a nerve receptor, your muscle knows to contract. In myasthenia gravis, your body attacks its acetylcholine receptors. Myasthenia gravis is considered to be an ...

Normally when impulses travel down the nerve, the nerve endings release a neurotransmitter substance called acetylcholine, which travels through the short neuromuscular junction and results in the ...

Individuals Affected by Myasthenia Gravis produce antibodies against acetylcholine receptors (AChR-Ab) or against a protein called muscle-specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK-Ab). This disease affects ...
