Study Notes
Central Nervous System (CNS)
- The central nervous system is primarily affected in Central Nervous System Demyelinating Diseases.
Oligodendrocytes
- Oligodendrocytes are responsible for producing myelin, a fatty substance that insulates axons in the central nervous system.
Axon Impact
- Central Nervous System Demyelinating Diseases initially impact axons by slowing down the speed of nerve impulses, leading to a range of neurological symptoms.
Peripheral Neuropathy
- Mononeuropathy multiplex is a type of Peripheral Neuropathy that affects multiple individual nerves in a non-symmetric pattern.
Central Nervous System Demyelinating Diseases
- Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by preferential damage to myelin and oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system.
