Question

Which of the following pathways could be affected by multiple sclerosis? Select all that apply.

Hints Given:

1.) Neuronal pathways are how the different parts of the body communicate. If part of the pathway is damaged, it will impact the whole pathway.

2.) The receptors around the body (somatic and visceral) are not directly affected by MS. However, the interneurons of the brain that would be carrying information from the Peripheral Nervous System could be affected, which would result in the information from the receptors not reaching the appropriate region of the CNS.

1.) Communication between the brain and somatic motor neurons 2.) Communication between the spinal cord and visceral motor neurons 3.) Stimulation of a visceral sensory neuron 4.) Sensory information being transmitted from a somatic sensory neuron to the cortex of the brain

Explanation / Answer

Hi,
MS is a degenerative disease where the neurons are damaged and nerve conductance is delayed. There are multiple reasons for MS, but the overall the nerves get damaged. The MS doesn't affect all the sensory neurons but the neural connections are damaged. So, the option 2 and 4 are answers.
