What is caused by an autoimmune attack on the myelin in the central nervous system?
multiple sclerosis
What genetic disease is characterized by an excess build up of myelin?
canavan disease
What RARE not Multiple Sclerosis autoimmune disease attacks the myelin sheath?
Guillain-Barre Syndrome
An autoimmune disease which results in the destruction of myelin sheaths is called?
The autoimmune disease that results in the destruction of myelin sheaths is called multiple sclerosis (MS). This condition leads to disruption in the transmission of signals along the nerves, causing a range of symptoms including weakness, numbness, vision problems, and difficulties with coordination and balance.
What disease strips myelin from nerves?
the disease that strips myelin from nerves is meningitis
What causes the destruction of myelin in GBS?
The reason for the destruction of myelin in GBS is unknown, although it is thought that the underlying problem is autoimmune in nature
Why is MS considered to be autoimmune?
An autoimmune disease is one in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the host which it is protecting. In Multiple Sclerosis, the immune system attacks and destroys the myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers, leaving behind hard plaques or scars (called scleroses, thus "multiple sclerosis" meaning "many scars").
What happens to myelin in people who suffer from multiple sclerosis?
Multiple Sclerosis is caused by an autoimmune response which causes the immune system to attack the myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers in the central nervous system (CNS). The immune system will attack and destroy myelin, leaving in its place hard, plaque-like scars (called scleroses) where nerve signal transmission is decreased, causing the symptoms of the disease. This explains the name "multiple sclerosis," which means "many scars."
Multiple sclerosis is a disease that involves the degeneration of the?
Myelin sheath
What is a part of a neuron affected by multiple sclerosis?
the myelin sheaths. The disease is classified as demyelinating , which is also known as the degeneration of the myelin structures in the neuron.
Autoimmune disorder with extensive demyelination?
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by extensive demyelination of the nerve fibers in the central nervous system. The immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin sheath, leading to impaired nerve function and potential neurological symptoms such as weakness, numbness, and vision problems. Treatment often involves medications to reduce inflammation and modify the immune response.
Which disease caused by the deterioration of patches of myelin?
multiple sclerosis
