Multiple Sclerosis medical animation


Multiple Sclerosis medical animation
MS  is an inflammatory disease in which the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged. This damage disrupts the ability of parts of the nervous system to communicate, resulting in a wide range of signs and symptoms including physical, mental, and sometimes psychiatric problems.

This medical animation shows how T cells cross the blood brain barrier and attacks the myelin. When the myelin is lost, the axons can no longer effectively conduct signals.

  1. I love these type of medical animations. It explains how things work better than anything. In my field, I use this medium in the technology solutions my company provides, with videos like this a viewers understanding and retention are drastically improved.
