The cells killed by MS are the schwann cells. These produce the mylein sheath required for propper axon conductance. The mylein sheath is also damaged and destroyed.

This causes a loss of conductance in all nerve cells affected. Any nerve cell can be affected by MS.

When a ligand is released what prevents all of the cells in the body from being affected?

When a ligand is released, only cells that have the specific receptor for that ligand will be affected. Receptors are proteins on the cell membrane or inside the cell that bind to specific ligands like keys fitting into locks. This specificity ensures that only target cells respond to the signaling molecule, preventing all cells in the body from being affected by the released ligand. Additionally, the concentration of the ligand, the distance it can travel, and the presence of other signaling molecules also play a role in determining which cells are affected.


What is the target tissue that is affected by the somatic tissue?

The target tissue affected by somatic mutations is the body's non-reproductive cells, including those in organs, muscles, and connective tissue. These mutations are not passed on to offspring as they do not affect germ cells.

Cells are affected by the movement of water by the diffusion of water that goes in and out of the cell will tell you how it functions.


What is the specific cells in the body to which hormones convey information?

Hormones convey information to target cells in the body. These cells have specific receptors that can bind to the hormone molecules, triggering a response or a change in cellular activity. Target cells are typically found in tissues or organs that are affected by the hormone.
