How does Multiple Sclerosis homeostasis in the human body?

Which body system does multiple sclerosis affect?

• Answer:

  Multiple sclerosis affects the central nervous system by causing a breakdown of the myelin sheath surrounding certain nerve fibers. The myelin sheath is a fatty layer surrounding the nerves that acts much like the insulation around an electrical wire. When it is destroyed, the impulses carried by these nerves generally become ineffective to the point where the parts of the body served by these nerves become erratic or non-functional. The nerve damage is in the spinal column and the brain.
