Lesson Multiple Sclerosis: Nervous System introduces and defines these terms
Multiple Sclerosis (MS): A chronic autoimmune, inflammatory, neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system characterized by multifocal lesions.
Inflammation: Reaction of the body to injury or infection characterized in part, by the presence of white blood cells.
Neurodegeneration: Loss of neural tissue. Includes axon loss, loss of oligodendrocytes and demyelination.
