How does your body's defense system work

Health
1 answer:

Your immune system uses a huge army of defender cells - different types of white blood cell. You make about 1000 million of them every day in your bone marrow. Some of these cells, called macrophages, constantly patrol your body, destroying germs as soon as they enter. This is your 'natural' or inborn immunity. But if an infection begins to take hold, your body fights back with an even more powerful defence of T- and B-cells. They give you acquired immunity, so that the same germ can never make you as ill again.

Can you answer questions regarding Occupational Therapy. Specifically, synergy patterns after a stroke.
Darina [25.2K]

Answer: Synergy pattern after a stroke occurs when the brain starts relearning how to control the muscle again while the patient is recovering.

Explanation:

Occupational therapy is a field in health care system that helps individuals to reduce any form of functional dependence in daily life which may have occurred due to different illnesses.

Stroke is a condition which occurs when blood flow to the brain is suddenly interrupted, causing hypoxia ( decrease oxygen levels). The effect includes paralysis of a limb or one side of the body and disturbances of speech and vision.

Occupational therapist are trained health care providers that help these patients (for example, stroke patients) develop, recover, improve, as well as maintain the skills needed for daily living.

One of the ways the body recovers after stroke is through synergy patterns. Synergy pattern after a stroke occurs when the brain starts relearning how to control the muscle again while the patient is recovering

A typical example is the flexion synergy patterns which causes an individual to move different parts of the arm at once. A recovering stroke patient can overcome this with the help of an occupational therapist through consistent practice of therapeutic rehab exercises.
