Question about myasthenia gravis?

[susie homemaker]

In the disease myasthenia gravis, the immune system attacks the receptors for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. A drug is used to inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase which normally removes the neurotransmitter. This improves the condition of the patient. How does this work?

the inhibitors raise the level of acetylcholine(ACh) available to bind with the still functional receptors.
