Adequate information:
Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic disease that causes fibrosis, ossification and synostosis.
To determine:
The health concerns related to ankylosing spondylitis.
Introduction:
Mr. D is suffering from ankylosing spondylitis which is a type of arthritis that affects the vertebral column. It is caused by the fusion of bones with each other.

Hello, i understand the question, but i only need to know which option is right, no need for explanation. thanks in advance.
Cardiac and skeletal muscle are both “striated” types of muscle and yet they have very distinct functional characteristics. a) Skeletal muscle functions as discrete motor units and the cardiac muscle works as a functional syncytium. Define the italicized terms in the previous sentence, explain their importance, and describe the cellular features that underlie these functional differences. b) Cardiac muscle exhibits automaticity, while excitation of skeletal muscle is neurogenic. Define the italicized terms and provide a brief explanation of mechanisms underlying each.
