Answer:

The correct answer is spinal cord.

Explanation:

A reflex action is an instantaneous response movement caused due to stimulus. This is an involuntary action which is controlled by the neurons of the spinal cord through a pathway called reflex arc.  

This reflex arc starts when excited receptors send signals in the form of impulse through sensory neurons. This impulse travels to the dorsal roots of the spinal cord via afferent neuron or sensory neuron where interneuron or association neuron send the signals via motor neurons to muscle cells which respond.

Thus, the spinal cord is the correct answer.

Answer:

Multiple Sclerosis is an inflammatory disease in which myelin sheath of nerve cells of brain and spinal cord are damaged.

Explanation:

Cause:- (Exact cause of inflammation is not known)

  • But damage is caused due to attack by autoimmune cells or antibodies against myelin sheath.

Types of tissues attack:-

  • Oligodendrocytes and myelin sheath is damaged and stripped away from axon and the process is known as demyelination.
  • Myelin sheaths are made up of fatty tissues and help in transmission of electric impulse.

Result of immune system attack:-

  • Damaged myelin sheath stop forming whIte matter of central nervous system.
  • Hence disrupt coordinating communication between different brain regions.

Signs and symptoms:- vary from person to person

  • Diminished eyesight.
  • Disrupt motor coordination.
  • Weak sensory perception.
  • Fatigue and dizziness.
  • Speech disorder.
  • Muscle weakness and spasticity.
  • Difficulty in urination and stool.
