  1. Question 1

    Q1. A patient with a neurological disorder experiences muscle stiffness. Which process is primarily responsible for muscle stiffness?

    • A) Muscle protein synthesis
    • B) Muscle protein degradation
    • C) Muscle fiber regeneration
    • D) Muscle fiber contraction

    Answer: Muscle protein degradation

    Explanation: Muscle protein degradation is primarily responsible for muscle stiffness, as it involves the breakdown of muscle proteins, leading to muscle wasting and stiffness.
