Question

what effect will multiple sclerosis, a degenerative disorder that causes myelin to disintegrate, have on a person's nerve impulses?

Answer 1

Multiple sclerosis

In this disorder, 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).
