Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multiple sclerosis (MS )is the most common form of demyelination disorders. The myelin sheath is important to conduct impulses. Demyelination is the process of losing the myelin sheath of a nerve fiber. The intermittent myelin damage and scarring slows nerve impulses, leading to muscle weakness, pain, numbness, and vision loss. MS has an average onset between 18 and 35 years of age and is more common in women. It is thought to be an autoimmune disease. Demyelination breaks down into the suffix -ation meaning process, the prefix de- meaning away from, without, and the root -myelin- meaning myelin.
