Answer 3

Parkinson's Disease is a progressive deterioration of the cells of the brain that produces the neurotransmitter dopa-mine. Parkinson's disease is characterized by tremors, loss of higher mental functioning, and difficulties in walking, moving, standing, speech, swallowing, and chewing.

Answer 4

Parkinson's disease is a condition that leads to a gradual and long-term degeneration of the central nervous system. It is a type of condition that can cause problems in the motor system and affect movement. The nerve cells in the brain produce a very important chemical known as dopamine, which sends signals to various parts of the brain that help to control movement. It also helps in smooth functioning of the muscles.When these nerve cells are affected, they are unable to produce dopamine. As a result, the person does not receive the appropriate signals to the brain, and hence there are problems with movement.Since it is a progressive disease, it gets worse over time, but the stage from initial to worse often happens slowly and takes many years.
