| myeloma |
A neoplasm of B lymphocytes that manifests itself as the derivative cells referred to as plasma cells. The disease usually starts in the marrow, which is replaced by malignant plasma cells. The malignant plasma cells make a monoclonal immunoglobulin, the detection of which may be very helpful in diagnosis. The cells secrete chemicals that stimulate the overactivity of bone-dissolving cells, called osteoclasts, leading to osteoporosis and brittle bones that fracture easily.

| myelin |
A soft, white coating of nerve fibers in the central nervous system, composed of lipids (fats) and protein. Myelin serves as insulation and as an aid to efficient nerve fiber conduction. When myelin is damaged in MS, nerve fiber conduction is faulty or absent. Impaired bodily functions or altered sensations associated with those demyelinated nerve fibers are identified as symptoms of MS in various parts of the body.
