48
What is happening in multiple scelerosis?
Macrophages and microglia directly attack myelin (contains myelin basic protein –MBP) stripping fragments of myelin from the sheath encasing nerve axons leaving “naked” demyelinated axons

What is MS
MS is a autoimmune inflammatory disorder associated with localized areas of demyelination in white matter (where axons are in the brain and spinal cord) of the CNS
50
What is the most common form of gullain-barre syndrome

* What happens when the nerve is not successfully regenerated?
* Distal end and in an anterograde fashion
* Schwann cells and if there is no Sch cells then there will be no regeneration
* The axon did not penetrate the cord because there might be too many schwann cells so no regeneration

CNS cannot regenerate nerves. Why?
because of nogo proteins since they are negative regulator of neuronal growth in CNA
