Muscular dystrophy and myasthenia gravis are complicated conditions. According to the research, muscular dystrophy is a "group of familial disorders that cause degeneration of skeletal muscle fibers" (Carroll, 2008, p 1633). Many researchers believe that the different types are each caused by different biochemical defects. For example, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is thought t be the result of a single gene defect "thought to be caused by a deletion of a segment of deoxyribonucleic acid" (Carroll, 2008, p 1633). Similarly, Becker Muscular Dystrophy is also caused by deformities in the X-link. Different types of dystrophy affect different muscle groups. There is the example of scapuloperneal Muscular Dystrophy, which affects the facial and shoulder muscles. Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune neuromuscular condition, caused by abnormal transmission of nerve impulses to the...
Normal communication is interrupted, where antibodies disrupt the flow of acetylcholine between nerves and muscles.

Monopolistic competition occurs in marketplaces where there is competition, but the competition is imperfect. Firms sell goods that are similar, but firms have differentiated them, either practically through product or service characteristics, or through advertising, so they are perceived as being different by the consumers (Gillespie, 2013).
