Multiple sclerosis results from:

Answer: Autoimmune destruction of myelin sheath in CNS.

  • A Dopamine deficiency in midbrain dopaminergic neurons
  • B Autoimmune destruction of myelin sheath in CNS
  • C Progressive degeneration and loss of spinal motor neurons
  • D Overproduction of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction

Correct answer: B. Autoimmune destruction of myelin sheath in CNS

Explanation: Multiple sclerosis (MS): autoimmune demyelination of CNS axons. Disrupts nerve signal conduction. Causes varied neurological symptoms, fatigue, vision problems.
