Multiple Sclerosis effects the myeline sheath of the spinal cord
What else can I help you with?
Differences between multiple sclerosis and HIV associated demintia?
HIV destroys the body's immune system while multiple sclerosis causes the immune system to become less efficient
Is multiple sclerosis bacterial or viral?
It is neither bacterial nor viral. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease. That means that your body's immune system is attacking parts of your body. In the case of multiple sclerosis the immune system is attacking the protective cover around the nerve cells.
Is there a correlation between Multiple Sclerosis and Anxiety Disorder?
multiple sclerosis may be the body's delayed immune reaction to viruses such as measles, Herpes simplex, rubella, and parainfluenza.
What disease causes the immune system to attack the central nervous system?
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers in the central nervous system. As a result, communication between the brain and the rest of the body is disrupted, leading to symptoms such as muscle weakness, coordination problems, and fatigue.
What are the possible causes of multiple sclerosis?
Currently no one knows what causes MS. Some think it is an auto immune disease. Some think it is caused by a virus. Some think that it has some genetic components.
What medical disorder in which the myelin in the CNS has been destroyed?
Multiple sclerosis is a medical disorder in which the myelin in the central nervous system has been destroyed, leading to impaired nerve function. This can result in a variety of symptoms including vision problems, coordination issues, and cognitive deficits. The exact cause of multiple sclerosis is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve an abnormal immune response targeting the myelin.
How does multiple sclerosis stop nerves?
In multiple sclerosis, the immune system destroys the myelin sheath (sort of like wire insulation) surrounding the nerves and in doing so interrupts the signals along the path of the nervous system.
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 are the most common diseases of the immune system?
Alllergy and asthma :) :) :( ;) :> :0AIDs, Multiple sclerosis or cancer can cause someone to become immunocompromised.
What immune system disorders disrupts nerve signals to and from the brain leading to muscle weakness vision problems or paralysis?
Multiple sclerosis
What does a ms degree means?
MS is short for Multiple Sclerosis. Its an auto immune disease that attacks the brain and spinal cord.
Where does the name multiple sclerosis come from?
Multiple sclerosis means "many scars." This name comes from the pathology of the disease, where nerve cells are attacked by the immune system. T-cells will destroy the myelin sheath surrounding nerve cells, leaving hard, plaque-like regions called scleroses.
