Answer:

A patient with a spinal cord injury that resulted in paralysis of the legs has paraplegia (option c).

Explanation:

Paraplegia consists of paralysis of the lower extremities or legs due to injuries to the spinal cord, from the dorsal vertebrae. Other causes of paraplegia include tumors and malformations that affect the spinal cord.

The spinal cord provides the nerves that allow the innervation of the limbs. A spinal cord injury interrupts communication between the brain and the effector (motor) muscles as well as the sensory nerves in the affected limbs, producing paralysis. When it occurs in the legs is called paraplegia.

The other options are not correct because:

a. Hemiplegia corresponds to paralysis of upper and lower limbs on one side only.

b. Pseudoplegia is a paralysis that is due to mental disorders such as conversion disorder, without injury to the nervous system.

d. Dysplegia is associated with motor disorders observed in children with varying degrees of dysfunction or cerebral paralysis.

If u were me explain why u will resist Corona virus prevention education

Mkey [24]

My opinion: To be honest, it would not be a good idea to resist Corona Virus Prevention education, because without the knowledge on how to prevent yourself from catching the Corona Virus, you’d most probably catch the horrible illness, which is obviously, bad.

Answer: I would resist Corona Virus prevention education because I dislike the thought of being forced to wear a mask and wash my hands frequently. The “horrible” disease, in my eyes, isn’t very bad, it’s just, the reason there are so many cases to this illness is because, normally, the people who catch it, have a weak immune system. Fortunately, I have a strong immune system, so even if I did catch Corona Virus, I believe I would be able to heal from it.

Mindfulness is a type of meditation in which you focus on being intensely aware of what you're sensing and feeling in the moment, without interpretation or judgment.

Pay attention. It's hard to slow down and notice things in a busy world and focus on your breathing

Mindfulness can: help relieve stress, treat heart disease, lower blood pressure, reduce chronic pain, , improve sleep, and alleviate gastrointestinal difficulties. Mindfulness improves mental health.

mindfulness increases empathy and compassion for others and for oneself, and that such attitudes are good for you.

In a growth mindset, people believe that their most basic abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just the starting point.

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

eponym

Explanation:

An "eponym" is derived from the discoverer's name and it is used to name a person, place or thing, such as a disease, structure, operation, procedure, etc. One popular example of this is the "Hartnup disease." This is a metabolic disorder of the body which was seen in the Hartnup family of England. Around 4 members of the family carried the disease with them and were studied for it. Thus, the name was derived from their family name. Another example is the Ford Motor Company which was named after the founder, Henry Ford.
