_____________ is a nervous disorder characterized by involuntary tremors, diminished motor power and rigidity?
Correct answer: D. Parkinson's disease
- A. Epilepsy
- B. Meningitis
- C. Alzheimer's disease
- D. Parkinson's disease
Explanation
Parkinson's disease results mainly from degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons involved in motor control, causing resting tremors, rigidity and reduced movement. Epilepsy is the most likely alternative because it is also a nervous disorder, but it is characterized mainly by recurrent seizures rather than progressive motor rigidity.

About Brain
The brain includes the cerebrum, cerebellum, brainstem, hypothalamus and medulla, each with distinct roles in sensation, movement and homeostasis. Questions connect major brain regions with their functions, reflex control and coordination, while distinguishing involuntary responses from hormonal regulation.
