Question 58

To determine the meaning of "Myasthenia Gravis", we analyze the word roots: "My/o" means muscle, "asthenia" means weakness, and "Gravis" means severe/heavy. So combining these, it means muscle heavy (severe) and weak. The other options don't match the root meanings: "strong and full" is opposite of asthenia, "muscle tone hard" doesn't relate to these roots, and "muscle feeling great" is incorrect.

For "Muscular Dystrophy", "Dys-" means faulty or abnormal, and "-trophy" relates to development/growth. So "Dystrophy" means faulty development. "Muscle cramping" is not related to these roots, "muscle enlargement" would be hypertrophy, and "muscle strength" is not related to dystrophy's meaning.

Answer:

A. muscle heavy and weak (assuming the first option is labeled A, adjust label as per original, but the text of the correct option is "muscle heavy and weak")
