The answers would be:
1. Amyotrophaic Lateral Sclerosis - nervous system disease that attacks nerve cells called neurons.
5. Spina bifida - A neural tube defect that causes incomplete closure of the spinal column
4. Brachial plexus injury - Caused by trauma to a network of nerves.
3. Bells Palsy - affects the muscles in the face.
2. Guillain barre syndrome - Autoimmune disease (The immune system attacks your peripheral nervous system. )
Here is a little bit more about the different answers, in case you want to know more:
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. It is an autoimmune disease where nerve cells in the central nervous system are affected like the nerve cells in the spine and brain. This is a progressive disease where nerve cells that control voluntary muscles die.
Spina Bifida occurs when the spinal cord does not form properly. It is a birth defect where the membranes of the spine and spinal cord do not completely. This creates a gap in the spine.
Brachial plexus injury is an injury to the brachial plexus which is a network of nerves controls the movement and the sensation in the hands and arms. Symptoms include weakness, loss of movement or loss of sensation in the arms, shoulders or hands.
Bell's Palsy can occur due to the swelling or compression of the nerves that control your facial muscles. It affects one side of the face which causes temporary weakness or even paralysis of the side that is affected. The affected side sometimes droops or stiffens.
Guillain-barre sydrome is an autoimmune disease but where your own immune system attacks nerve cells specifically in the peripheral nervous system. Symptoms include rapid onset weakness, numbness and tingling.
