Lithosphere is the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.
Earth's lithosphere includes the crust and the uppermost mantle, which constitute the hard and rigid outer layer of the Earth. The lithosphere is subdivided into tectonic plates. The uppermost part of the lithosphere that chemically reacts to the atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere through the soil forming process is called the pedosphere. The lithosphere is underlain by the asthenosphere which is the weaker, hotter, and deeper part of the upper mantle.

Multiple sclerosis and atherosclerosis are similar in that they both refer to:

alukav5142 [94]

The conditions mentioned are both a type of sclerosis, which refers to the hardening of a certain anatomical feature.

In atherosclerosis, the affected anatomical feature is the artery. This is a condition that causes the obstructions of blood flow through the artery as a result of plaque buildup along the artery walls. Unlike with MS, atherosclerosis does not present symptoms until the obstructions are severe or the plaque loosens, which can lead to heart attacks, among other consequences.

In the case of Multiple Sclerosis, the affected anatomical structure is that of the nerve. This is a condition for unknown reasons, causes the immune system to attack the myelin covers of nerve cells which act to protect the cell. The absence of this cover causes the build-up of plaque along the nerve axon, stiffening and disrupting the communication of the nerves with the central nervous system.
