Q

What happens in a demyelinating disease?

A. Impulses are slowed/stopped, resulting in weakness of limbs, visual disturbances, autonomic dysfunction, and diminished intellectual capacity
B. Impulses speed up uncontrollably, resulting in muscle twitching, visual disturbances, immunity dysfunction
C. Impulses jump synaptic barriers across other nerves and short circuit those adjacent impulses as the sheath is no longer insulating their current
D. Schwann Cells reproduce in place of the Ependymal cells like scar tissue

A
