Answer:

Four to eight times a day for 20 minutes at a time.-apex

Explanation:

Sprain is an injury that causes stretching or rupture of ligaments in the joint. Experts often suggest ice in the region to relieve pain and reduce swelling. This ice should be placed four to eight times a day for 20 minutes at a time.

Ice is an excellent analgesic and anti-inflammatory method. Low-cost and home-made, it can be taken in risky sports (football, racing, volleyball, etc.) and can be administered immediately after injury. However, care must be taken because very low temperatures can damage nerve structures that are very sensitive to temperature changes.

Which of the following is part of the peripheral nervous system?
rosijanka [135]
There are many parts of the peripheral nervous system, but options are not listed below.

I will use my best prediction using deductive reasoning to proves which is part of the PNS - peripheral nervous system.

The peripheral nervous system is defined as a bundle of neurons, that is neither the brain or spine (which is in the CNS - central nervous system)

As you may know the PNS, is broken down into two pieces.

The autonomic and somatic nervous system.

The autonomic nervous system as you may know is the part of the PNS, that controls involuntary activities. e.x breathing, heartrate, blood pressure, temperature, etc. 

The somatic nervous system on the other hand is voluntary, and is associated with the feelings of the body. (heat, cold, touch, smell)
