Question

The disease multiple sclerosis makes it more difficult for signals from the brain and spinal cord to travel along nerve fibers. How will multiple sclerosis

affect other body tissues?
O Connective tissue will increase its fat storage.
O Muscle tissue will contract uncontrollably.
Epithelial tissue will lose the ability to protect against infection.
Tendons and ligaments will become brittle and break.

Answer 1

O Muscle tissue will contract uncontrollably.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiple sclerosis, also known as encephalomyelitis disseminata, is a disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. Some of the most common symptoms of multiple sclerosis include vision problems, arm or leg movement and balance. This disease occurs when the immune system attacks the myelin sheath that covers nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, causing inflammation and subsequent damage of the sheath and the nerve fibers it surrounds. Multiple sclerosis may cause muscle twitches when nerve fibers are damaged, thereby disrupting the signaling between nerves and muscles.
