Epilepsy is a disorder that affects which of the following parts of the human body?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Brain cells.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that affects the brain cells. It is characterised by recurrent, unprovoked seizures caused by sudden, abnormal electrical activity in the brain. These seizures can vary from brief lapses of attention or muscle jerks to severe convulsions. Epilepsy may result from genetic factors, brain injury, infections, or developmental disorders. While it does not directly damage muscles, bones, teeth, or skin, it can indirectly affect them during seizures. With proper medical treatment, such as anti-seizure medications, many individuals with epilepsy can manage their condition effectively and lead normal lives.
