4Muscle [blank_start]atrophy[blank_end] is loss of muscle mass.
- Aatrophy
5Muscular [blank_start]hypertrophy[blank_end] is an increase in muscle [blank_start]size[blank_end], not length. Can be due to exceeding weights.
- Ahypertrophy
- Bsize
6Muscular [blank_start]dystrophy[blank_end] is a group of diseases that results in deterioration of [blank_start]skeletal[blank_end] muscles over time.
- Askeletal
- Bdystrophy
7Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is an [blank_start]x-linked[blank_end] [blank_start]recessive[blank_end] disorder, thus more often seen in boys. It is caused by defects in the muscle protein [blank_start]dystrophin[blank_end], which gives muscle fibers [blank_start]structural[blank_end] integrity by connecting the [blank_start]cytoskeleton[blank_end] to the extracellular matrix.
- Ax-linked
- Brecessive
- Cdystrophin
- Dstructural
- Ecytoskeleton
8What is the classical presentation of Duchenne's muscular dystrophy?
- A2-4 years old
- B6-9 years old
- Cproximal muscle weakness
- Ddistal muscle weakness
- Epseudohypertrophy in calves
- Fhypertrophy in calves
- Gspecific pockets of muscle pain
9How can you treat Duchenne's muscular dystrophy?
- Ano treatment
- Bcorticosteroids
- Cmild exercise
- DNSAIDS
- Estength building exeercies
10Most patients with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy will die [blank_start]young[blank_end], often due to [blank_start]cardiomyopathy[blank_end] (which makes sense considering the [blank_start]heart[blank_end] is the most important muscle and the disease causes muscle degradation.)
- Ayoung

- AMalnutrition
- Bweaken
12Muscle effects due to malnutrition can be reversed.
- ATrue
- BFalse
13When checking for neuromuscular disease, always check the [blank_start]deep[blank_end] [blank_start]tendon[blank_end] [blank_start]reflexes[blank_end].
Exs: Achilles tendon, biceps reflex- Adeep
- Btendon
- Creflexes
14Lots of common toxins can cause muscle damage. This is called [blank_start]toxic[blank_end] [blank_start]myopathy[blank_end].
An example is [blank_start]ethanol[blank_end]. However, ethanol is special because the damage it causes actually can be [blank_start]reversed[blank_end].- Atoxic
- Bmyopathy
- Cethanol
- Dreversed
15Whats true regarding steroid use in sports?

- Bmainly anabolic steroids
- Chave increased muscle mass and strength
- Dmuscle mass expands in size
- Emore endurance
- Fside effect: more feminine characteristics
- Gside effect: behavioral changes
- Hside effect: higher risk for heart disease
- Iside effect: lung damage
- Jside effect: kidney damage
