| *SHORT ANSWER QUESTION* A hypothetical genetic disease causes the body to produce antibodies that compete with acetylcholine for receptors on the motor end plate. | This is a case of competition between acetycholine & the antibody. To make the patient's acetycholine more effective, a drug that inhibits acetycholinesterase would slow the breakdown of acetylcholine, relieving some of the weakness. |
