Document Summary

Secondary muscle disease (smd): the pathology originates in other systems: nerve neuromuscular disease/disorder, bone/joint musculoskeletal disease, inflammatory system inflammatory muscle disease, immune system autoimmune muscle diseases, examples, pmd: mcardle"s disease; forbe"s disease, smd, neuromuscular: parkinson"s disease; muscular dystrophy, skeleton/bone disease/ disorder, inflammatory muscle disease dermatomyositis, autoimmune muscle diseases: multiple sclerosis; myositis; muscle rheumatism. Muscle diseases: symptoms: muscle weakness : generally accompanied by muscle atrophy, muscle weakness failure to develop an expected force, that is persistent and not fully reversible, pain: defects in cardiovascular system, inflammatory system, tetany: involuntary contractions (spasms) because of changing calcium levels generally larger muscles of arms an legs, twitching: single motor unit firing due to loss of nerve cells typically close to surface of the skin, muscular hypertrophy and accompanying increase in stiffness (myotonia congenital) ; increase in size is due to more fat in muscle form of muscular dystrophy, biochemical parameters are specific to disease, reduced muscle glycogen; mitochondrial oxidative potential b.
