Answer:

phantom pain

Explanation:

I would tell him about the condition and its name and available treatment. I will do this by describing the name of the condition. This is known as phantom pain. This occurs after maybe having part of the arm or leg amputated. There is a chance you could feel pain in the limb that's no longer there. This occurs mostly in arms and legs and about 80-100% of amputated patients experience this. The cause of it is not yet clear as it can be as a result of the contribution of some damaged nerve endings, scar tissue at the region of the amputation process and the physical memory of before-amputation pain in the affected area. There are also medications to be used to treat this condition and some do go away on its own.

Answer:

he has fantom pain and that he isn't crazy. when he lost his arm below elbow, the pathway to hand had been severed and the brain still thinks the pathway is going to his hand

Explanation:

Your uncle still has the surviving parts of the sensory pathway that once served the entire arm. This mayinclude the primary sensory neurons, since the severed axons could have regenerated (but even if thesecells degenerated, the remainder of the pathway did not). Anything that stimulates the sensory nerve inthe stump may cause signals to go to the area of the cerebral cortex that once received inputs only fromthe hand. Your uncle is not crazy, rather he is experiencing phantom limb pain, which is very real. Thisphenomenon illustrates labeled line coding and coding of stimulus location.

Describe the interaction between the Ming Dynasty and the Portuguese between 1513 and 1537.
yaroslaw [1]

Portugal established trading activities in China in 1513 when Jorge Alvares arrived.

In 1517 the King sent a mission and created a trade center at Nei Lingding.

Portugal and Ming Dynasty relationship gradually expanded but was deteriorated when Simão de Andrade arrived at Guangzhou in 1519. He violated their customs and laws, so Chinese people reacted by killing several Portuguese in the streets.

In 1521 the Emperor Zhengde died and the Ming Court lost interest in having relations with foreign countries.

There were two battles:

In 1521, every Portuguese vessel was confiscated and Chinese defeated a Portuguese fleet at The First Battle of Tamao

In 1522, Martim Alfonso de Merlo Coutinho was sent to establish diplomatic relations but the Chinese defeated them at The Second Battle of Tamao.

The Chinese resisted any Portuguese attempt to return. But in 1535 Portuguese Port Traders were allowed to anchor ships in Macau´s harbors and they could trade. Finally, in 1537 the Portuguese establish a little Colony at Macau to be administered by Chinese authorities.

Which of the following is used by the federal government to provide Social Security and Medicare benefits?
Yuri [45]

The correct answer is: "FICA".

FICA stands for Federal Insurance Contributions Act. It establishes a mechanism through which both employers and employees make their contributions and fund the Social Security system and the provision of Medicare benefits.

Such funding is used at a federal level to provide income support to individuals who are retired, who suffer disabilities or, for example, to the families (children) of deceased workers.
