Which of the following are Autoimmune disorders?
A. Myasthenia gravis
B. Rheumatoid arthritis
C. Gout
D. Muscular dystrophy
E. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
A. Myasthenia gravis
B. Rheumatoid arthritis
C. Gout
D. Muscular dystrophy
E. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- A, B & D only
- A, B & E only
- B, C & E only
- C, D & E only
The Correct Option is B
Approach Solution - 1
To determine which of the given options are autoimmune disorders, let's explore each condition:
- Myasthenia gravis: It is an autoimmune disorder where antibodies block or destroy muscle receptor sites, leading to muscle weakness.
- Rheumatoid arthritis: This is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks the synovium (lining of the membranes that surround the joints), causing inflammation and joint damage.
- Gout: This condition is caused by the accumulation of urate crystals in the joints due to high levels of uric acid. It is not an autoimmune disease.
- Muscular dystrophy: A group of genetic diseases causing muscle weakness, not autoimmune in nature.
- Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE): This is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting multiple systems of the body, leading to inflammation and tissue damage.
Based on this information, the autoimmune disorders among the options are:
- A. Myasthenia gravis
- B. Rheumatoid arthritis
- E. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
Thus, the correct answer is: A, B & E only.
Approach Solution -2
Myasthenia gravis, Rheumatoid arthritis, and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) are all autoimmune disorders, where the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues.
Gout is not an autoimmune disorder; it is caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals.
Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder, not autoimmune.
Thus, the correct answer is (2) A, B, E only.

Immunity in our body is of two types: (i) Innate immunity and (ii) acquired immunity. Innate immunity is a non-specific defence mechanism, whereas acquired immunity is pathogen-specific; it is called specific immunity too. Acquired immunity is characterised by memory. Antibodies are specific to antigens and there are different types of antibodies produced in our body: they are IgA, IgE, IgG and IgM. It shows primary response when it encounters the pathogen for the first time and secondary response during the subsequent encounters with the same Antigen/Pathogen.
(a) Name the two types of specialised cells which carry out the primary and secondary immune response.
(b) Why is the antibody-mediated immunity also called as humoral immune response?
Attempt either sub-part (c) or (d):
(c) The organ transplants are often rejected if taken from suitable compatible persons.
(i) Mention the characteristic of our immune system that is responsible for the graft rejection.
(ii) Name the type of immune response and the cell involved in it.

Three identical heat conducting rods are connected in series as shown in the figure. The rods on the sides have thermal conductivity 2K while that in the middle has thermal conductivity K. The left end of the combination is maintained at temperature 3T and the right end at T. The rods are thermally insulated from outside. In steady state, temperature at the left junction is \(T_1\) and that at the right junction is \(T_2\). The ratio \(T_1 / T_2\) is
