The cardiac muscle stimulates itself in order to form a heartbeat. Muscle disorders may affect the muscle or nerves and neurotransmitters surrounding the muscle. Examples of muscle diseases are multiple sclerosis, myopathy, muscle dystrophy, and peripheral neuropathy. Muscular System Anatomy The ...
This disorder has been referred to as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (HMSN) type V by Dyck. Onset was usually in the first two decades of life with difficulty in walking. The clinical syndrome superficially resembled that of HMSN types I and II with distal wasting and weakness ...
and the bronchial tubes. The difference in the functions of these vessels was not yet known; because they were all empty in cadavers, early anatomists supposed they all carried air. As medical knowledge advanced, however, students of anatomy realized that arteries carry blood and only the windpip...
only the lower motor neurones are affected and there is wasting and weakness of the arms. There may be progression to the legs, but bulbar involvement is rare until late in the disease. The rate of progression is slower than in the other forms and the majority of patients live more than...
The initial feature of SMA III is gait instability caused by proximal weakness. Similar to SMA II, a fine action tremor is common.Disease progressionis very slow, sometimes in a stepwise fashion, and often seems arrested.Weaknessmay progress either to the distal muscles of the legs or to the...

ddi- tionally, he had peripheral neuropathy causing loss of sensa- tion in his extremities. Deep tendon reflexes were absent in the leg. He reported no disability from PDB, which was discovered at 37 y, after a spine x-ray was performed to investigate a fall from a ladder. A bone scan...
