Question

Select ALL that could cause muscle cramping (a sustained muscle contraction) in skeletal
muscle:
OHyperexcitability of somatic motor neurons (secreting too much Ach)
Botulism poisoning, which prevents Ach secretion from somatic motor neurons
O Myasthenia Gravis, in which antibodies block Ach receptors at the motor end plate, preventing Ach
from binding
O Hypocalcemia, in which the calcium pumps of the sarcoplasmic reticulum are unable to keep Ca2+
inside the SR (allowing Ca2+ to leak into the cytoplasm)

Expert Solution

Step 1

A muscle cramp is a temporary muscular pain caused by the dehydration of the body and ultimately muscle, muscle strain, overstretching of muscle, and prolonged inactivity. Cramps are not severe and thus do not result in longer muscle pains and can be relieved with the medication in shorter durations.
