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.

3. Water is the solvent of life, meaning that many substances can easily dissolve in it.
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Hey there!

In an experiment, we have independent and dependent variables. Without them, there wouldn't be an experiment!

The independent variable is the variable that is being changed. For example, in this experiment, the temperature  of the salt solution is our independent variable is changing (increasing in this case)

The dependent variable is what changes when the independent variable changes. The change of the dependent variable is always caused by the change in the independent variable. In this experiment, the amount of salt dissolved in water is the dependent variable, because it is changing as the independent variable is changing.

Let me know if this helps :)
