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.

Summarize Isaac Newton's law of gravity
tankabanditka [31]
Newton's law of gravity defines the attractive force between all objects that possess mass. Understanding the law of gravity offers profound insights into the way our universe functions. Newton, upon observing an apple fall from a tree, began to think along the following lines: The apple is accelerated, since its velocity changes from zero as it is hanging on the tree and moves toward the ground. Thus, by Newton's 2nd Law there must be a force that acts on the apple to cause this acceleration. Let's call this force "gravity", and the associated acceleration the "acceleration due to gravity". Then imagine the apple tree is twice as high. Again, we expect the apple to be accelerated toward the ground, so this suggests that this force that we call gravity reaches to the top of the tallest apple tree. <span>Newton knew that the force which caused the apple's acceleration (gravity) must be dependent upon the mass of the apple. And since the force acting to cause the apple's downward acceleration also causes the earth's upward acceleration (Newton's third law), that force must also depend upon the mass of the earth. </span>
