In the mirror treatment of phantom limb pain, the visual illusion

Biology

BigorU [14]3 years ago

Answer:

b.

Explanation:

In the mirror treatment of phantom limb pain, the visual illusion tricks the brain into thinking it is controlling the amputated limb. The mirror creates a visual stimuli for the patient, which he sees his amputated limb as being there. This tricks the individual's brain into thinking that the limb is still there and intact which in term alleviates the phantom limb pain that they are experiencing.

Answer:

B. Tricks the brain into thinking the missing limb still exists.

Explanation:

This particular movement in the VI(visual Illusion) of the affected limb generates positive feedback to the motor cortex, which might in turn interrupt the pain cycle.

Some studies detailed with the effectiveness of mirror therapy as a pain management intervention for patients with PLP exist. It was also denoted that mirror therapy was used to treat PLP in a patient with a lower limb amputation (amputation through the hip due to necrotizing fasciitis) who presented PLP at the time of treatment.

At the end of meiosis II, how does the DNA in each of the four new cells compare to the DNA from the original cell?
gregori [183]
<span>At the end of meiosis II, the DNA in each of the four new cells compared to the DNA from the original cell is half as much and genetically different from the original. Meiosis is a part of cell division that results in the reduction of chromosome number by half in daughter cells. So, all daughter cells will have as half as much the original cell have. Nonetheless, during meiosis, the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes occur. So, all daughter cells are genetically different from the original cell.</span>

Briefly explain why only chromosomes of a homologous pair can have their alleles referred toas homozygous or heterozygous
tatuchka [14]

This is due to the fact that only homologous chromosomes would have identical genes located at identical sites on those chromosomes. Otherwise, there would be no connection between the alleles of various genes.

Although the genes and loci of the two members of the homologous pair are similar, the alleles may vary.For instance, both allele possess the genes responsible for the attribute of eye colour. While the one has alleles for the blue-eye trait, other has alleles for the brown-eye trait. The homologous chromosomes are said to be heterozygous in this instance since the alleles are different.

On the other hand, when both alleles for a gene that codes for the blue-eye phenotype are present, it is said to be homozygous.

Answer:

A. His mitochondria lack the transport protein that moves pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane.

Explanation:

Pyruvate is from the breakdown of carbohydrates such as glucose through glycolysis. Glucose enters the cytosol through specific transporters (the GLUT family) and is processed by one of several pathways depending on cellular requirements. Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol and produces a limited amount of ATP, but the end product is two 3-carbon molecules of pyruvate, which maybe diverted again into many pathways depending on the requirements of the cell. In aerobic conditions, pyruvate is primarily transported into the mitochondrial matrix and converted to acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) and carbon dioxide by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC).

Initially it was proposed that pyruvate was able to cross the membrane in its undissociated (acid) form but evaluation of its biochemical properties show that it is largely in its ionic form within the cell and should therefore require a transporter.

Transport of pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane appears to be easily accomplished via large non-selective channels such as voltage-dependent anion channels/porin, which enable passive diffusion. Indeed, deficiencies in these channels have been suggested to block pyruvate metabolism
