Q178 / 180 · NEET 2026 (Cancelled) · Zoology
Match List I with List II related to muscular/skeletal system :
List I List II A. Tetany I. Inflammation of joints B. Arthritis II. Autoimmune disorder affecting neuromuscular junction C. Myasthenia gravis III. Wild contraction in muscle due to low $\text{Ca}^{++}$ in body fluid D. Muscular dystrophy IV. Progressive degeneration of skeletal muscle
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
| List I | List II |
|---|---|
| A. Tetany | I. Inflammation of joints |
| B. Arthritis | II. Autoimmune disorder affecting neuromuscular junction |
| C. Myasthenia gravis | III. Wild contraction in muscle due to low $\text{Ca}^{++}$ in body fluid |
| D. Muscular dystrophy | IV. Progressive degeneration of skeletal muscle |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- Correct answerAA-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
- BA-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
- CA-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
- DA-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV
Solution
Tetany is characterised by rapid spasms or wild contractions in muscles due to low $\text{Ca}^{++}$ in body fluid. Thus, A matches with III.
Arthritis is the inflammation of joints. Thus, B matches with I.
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder affecting the neuromuscular junction leading to fatigue, weakening, and paralysis of skeletal muscle. Thus, C matches with II.
Muscular dystrophy is the progressive degeneration of skeletal muscle mostly due to genetic disorder. Thus, D matches with IV.
The correct matching is A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV.
Answer: A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
Arthritis is the inflammation of joints. Thus, B matches with I.
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder affecting the neuromuscular junction leading to fatigue, weakening, and paralysis of skeletal muscle. Thus, C matches with II.
Muscular dystrophy is the progressive degeneration of skeletal muscle mostly due to genetic disorder. Thus, D matches with IV.
The correct matching is A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV.
Answer: A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
