Cause of Parkinson's disease is death of brain cells that produce:
Correct answer: A. Dopamine
- A. Dopamine
- B. Acetylcholine
- C. ADH hormone
- D. Oxytocin
Explanation
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement. It is caused by the death of brain cells in a region of the brain that produces dopamine, a neurotransmitter that helps to regulate movement and emotional responses. The death of these cells leads to a deficiency of dopamine in the brain, resulting in the characteristic symptoms of Parkinson's disease, such as involuntary tremors, diminished motor power and rigidity which causes difficulty with balance and coordination. While the exact cause of the death of these brain cells is not known, it is thought to be related to a combination of genetic and environmental factors like head trauma.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
