Question 1 of 5
_______ is a disease of the myelin sheath.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease that affects the myelin sheath, the protective covering of nerve fibers in the central nervous system. In MS, the immune system mistakenly attacks myelin, leading to inflammation, scarring, and impaired nerve signal transmission. Symptoms include muscle weakness, coordination problems, and cognitive difficulties. MS is a chronic condition that can significantly impact a person's quality of life.
