Ket [755]4 years ago

With his superior light adjusting techniques, Leeuwenhoek was able to construct microscopes which could magnify over 200 times, enabling him to perceive small "animalcules" or bacteria in water.

Furthermore, in a letter, he reports how he had discovered in the plaque of two old men who had never brushed their teeth in their lives “an unbelievably great company of living animalcules, a-swimming more nimbly than any I had ever seen up to this time. The biggest sort. . . bent their body into curves in going forwards. . . Moreover, the other animalcules were in such enormous numbers, that all the water. . . seemed to be alive.”

german

Answer:

It is known as <u>Progressive Muscle Relaxation</u>

<em>b) She alternates muscle tension and relaxation of various muscles in her body.</em>

Explanation:

PMR is a healthy coping skill normally learned in any kind of psychiatric business. For example, I learned PMR while I was inpatient at a behavioral health unit. The way we did PMR was that we'd sit up in our chairs and start from the toes and on up. We squeezed our toes together for a few seconds and then released and then we'd do it a second time. After the toes, it would move up to the feet and we'd use the same process for that and for the rest of the joints.
