Explanation:
P.E. can be hard on students. I personally get very sore after many of the workouts the school has us do as well as many students. Out of school we often don't exercise because we know we will have to do it at school and because we are already sore we have no motivation or want to exercise. As for dietary practices many schools have been pushing for healthier food options which has its pros and cons. Believe it or not but healthier food options are more expensive for schools so instead of paying more the school pays the same amount for less food which cuts the portions of the students leaving them still hungry. It can be bad for the body not being able to eat when its hungry so it also leaves students hungry and tired which can affect their grades.
Answer:
A patient with a spinal cord injury that resulted in paralysis of the legs has paraplegia (option c).
Explanation:
Paraplegia consists of paralysis of the lower extremities or legs due to injuries to the spinal cord, from the dorsal vertebrae. Other causes of paraplegia include tumors and malformations that affect the spinal cord.
<u>The spinal cord provides the nerves that allow the innervation of the limbs</u>. A spinal cord injury interrupts communication between the brain and the effector (motor) muscles as well as the sensory nerves in the affected limbs, producing paralysis. When it occurs in the legs is called paraplegia.
The other options are not correct because:
a. Hemiplegia corresponds to paralysis of upper and lower limbs on one side only.
b. Pseudoplegia is a paralysis that is due to mental disorders such as conversion disorder, without injury to the nervous system.
d. Dysplegia is associated with motor disorders observed in children with varying degrees of dysfunction or cerebral paralysis.
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is related to option D. Sleep Apnea. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is defined as the sudden occurrence of death in infants (1 year below) without knowing the exact cause of it. Based on studies, SIDS usually occurs during sleep and is connected with sleep apnea as the cause. Sleep apnea is defined as breathing pauses or shallow breaths.
