  1. 5. A disease that specifically involves the mitochondria found in cells, commonly known as the energy factories of the cell, and is characterized by muscular and neurological problems such as muscle weakness, exercise intolerance, hearing loss, trouble with balance and coordination, seizures, and learning deficits.
  2. 6. Characterized as an involuntary contraction of one or more of your muscles and is sometimes referred to as a “charley horse.”
  3. 7. A broad term used to describe impairment or loss of motor function as a result of brain damage
  4. 8. a medical condition defined by the presence of chronic widespread pain, fatigue, waking unrefreshed, cognitive symptoms, lower abdominal pain or cramps, and depression
  5. 11. a rare neuromuscular disorder that results in the loss of motor neurons and progressive muscle wasting
  6. 13. a rare disease that involves inflammation of the muscles. It can present with a variety of symptoms such as skin involvement, muscle weakness, and other organ involvement
  7. 14. is an inflammatory disease characterized by muscle weakness and a distinctive rash. The condition can occur in both children and adults, affecting mostly females
  8. 15. a rare and terminal neurodegenerative disease that results in the progressive loss of motor neurons that control voluntary muscles
  9. 16. a hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy of the peripheral nervous system characterized by progressive loss of muscle tissue and touch sensation across various parts of the body
  10. 17. a group of genetic disorders that cause progressive muscle loss and weakness
Down
  1. 1. inflammation and weakness in the muscles or in the skin and muscles
  2. 2. a long-term neuromuscular junction disease that leads to varying degrees of skeletal muscle weakness
  3. 3. any disease affecting the peripheral nervous system, the neuromuscular junction, or skeletal muscle
  4. 4. A condition characterized by the rapid breakdown of damaged skeletal muscle
  5. 9. a group of rare neurodegenerative disorders that selectively affect motor neurons, the cells which control voluntary muscles of the body
  6. 10. a group of genetic diseases that cause progressive weakness and degeneration of skeletal muscles
  7. 12. Characterized by the muscles relaxing slowly after contraction or stimulation
