Answer: The answer is B- Diffusion of calcium ions through NMDA receptors.

Explanation:

Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a painful sensation experienced after the loss or amputation of a limb. The limb is no longer there but the individual can still feel real and severe pains in the limb. This occurs soon after surgery.

NMDA is a receptor for Glutamate which is an excitatory neurotransmitter. The activation of NMDA receptors are associated with hyperalgesia which is an abnormally heightened sensitivity to pain.

lina2011 [118]

Answer;

61

Explanation;

-The value 61 signifies that 61% of the 617 nucleotide positions are the same in both species, this about the comparable rRNA gene sequences in Comamonas testosteroni and Escherichia coli.

The movement of fluid across the arterial end of capillary membranes into the interstitial fluid surrounding the capillary is an
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Hydrostatic pressure

Explanation:

Hydrostatic pressure results from pressure generated by fluids on the capillary walls. It is responsible for movement of water/ fluid out of the capillaries while the osmotic pressure holds the fluid in blood vessels. The systolic contraction of heart chambers is responsible for hydrostatic pressure.

Since hydrostatic pressure is stronger at the arterial ends of capillaries, water and small solutes move out of the vessels into the surrounding interstitial fluid.
