Question

Select the correct answer. Charlie is having trouble moving his arms and legs. Charlie’s doctor diagnoses him with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). ALS prevents Charlie’s brain from signaling his arms and legs to move. Which type of tissue does ALS involve? A. connective B. epithelial C. fat D. muscle E. nervous

Answer 1

The correct answer is E. Nervous

*Explanation*

The nervous system is the one in control of the transmission of information in the body, and therefore the system that makes possible coordinated actions and movements. In the case of the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or similar conditions, neurons controlling voluntary movements and actions do not work correctly, and therefore the individual cannot coordinate movements or can do this with certain difficulties. This explains symptoms such as difficulties in coordinated movements, stiff muscles or muscle weakness that is part of ALS. According to this, the type of tissue ALS involves is nervous.
