OK so basically as we age are muscles and bones tend to become weaker and as that happens injuries may occur more often and usually we can no longer heal fully/properly because our bodies can no longer keep up with the injury.

exis [7]

Answer:

Cognitive dissonance theory. The therapist is hoping to create a cognitive dissonance in Jamal in order to make him change how feels and readjust his behavior to build his confidence level as against his usual feeling of insecurity and shyness.

Explanation:

Cognitive dissonance is a social psychology concept that as developed by Leon Festinger. The theory states that, an individual tends to experience inconsistency and becomes tensed when the individual is exposed to beliefs  that contradict their values or beliefs. The individual begins to experience dissonance. To solve this internal conflict, the individual would have to react in certain ways in order to return to consistency and establish a level of comfort.

The therapist suggestion that Jamal should “act as if” he is confident would create cognitive dissonance within Jamal. In order for Jamal to establish a consistency between what he believes about himself initially and what he is being told by the therapist, he would act confident, thereby realigning his values and beliefs with his action. The therapist would succeed in making Jamal view himself as a confident person .

Answer:

D. 43%

Explanation:

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there is no bar or graphic attached, from previous classes we can say that the percentage of adults that are familiar with all three eating disorders is 43 percent.

The three most notable eating disorders in the United States are Binge Eating Disorder, Bulimia Nervosa, and Anorexia Nervosa.

When a person eats very large amounts of food in short periods, then this individual has Binge Eating Disorder. They permanently gain weight, they secretly eat so nobody can see them, but they have remorse and feel bad.

People who throw up their food have Bulimia Nervosa Disorder. In the case of Anorexia Nervosa, people use pills to be slim, they have bad eating habits, over-emphasizes the slim image obsession, and they do more than recommended exercise to be fit.

Why does the signal of pain move slower than other signals in the body? why does the nervous system allow this lag time, and how
Virty [35]
Pain signals move from peripheral nervous system to the spinal cord and many gates are present in between which regulate these signals. The slow pain signals then move from the spinal cord to the <span>hypothalamus and limbic system. The former releases hormones which are stress-related, the latter is associated with the emotions and feelings related to the same. These signals are slow because they pass through the brain parts which are responsible for the emotions also, which is limbic system and prefrontal cortex. This lag time enables the person to feel the severity of pain and protect from it. For example, the soldier feels less pain because he is attached to the war scenario in a different manner, as compared to the civilian, and therefore, pain signals follow a different pathway, leading to a feeling of comparatively lesser pain and other activities are less affected.</span>
