• Liver cells

• Brain and spinal cord tissues

• Muscle tissue

• Blood cells

What does the white appearance on an MRI scan indicate in MS patients?

• Healthy tissue

• Scar tissue

• Inflammation

• Tumor

What is the function of myelin in neurons?

• To store energy

• To transmit electrical signals

• To produce hormones

• To fight infections

How does the body potentially recover from myelin loss in MS?

• By producing more neurons

• By regenerating myelin

• By reducing inflammation

• By increasing blood flow

What happens to neuron function when myelin is stripped away?

• It remains unchanged

• It becomes faster

• It improves

• It deteriorates

What is a long-term effect of multiple sclerosis?

• Progressive disability

• Complete recovery

• Stable condition

• Immediate improvement

Over time, what happens to the function of patients with MS?

• It fluctuates without decline

• It remains constant

• It improves significantly

• It gradually declines
