Answer: Myelin Sheath

Step-by-step explanation:

In Multiple sclerosis (MS), your immune system attacks the myelin sheath or the cells that produce and maintain it. This attack causes inflammation and injury to the nerve sheath and ultimately to the nerve fibers that it surrounds. The process can result in multiple areas of scarring (sclerosis).
