Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

On piercing his foot, the pain receptors called nociceptors, found in the skin, are activated. Nociceptors exist at the nerve endings of the primary afferent neurons. Signals travel along the first order neurons which have cell bodies within the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord. In the dorsal root ganglia, the signals are taken up at the synapse with the second order neurons which have cell bodies in the nuclei of the cranial nerves within the brainstem. These neurons ascend cranially in the spinothalamic tract to the thalamus. The third order neurons lie within the ventral posterolateral nucleus of the thalamus. They terminate at the somatosensory cortex where the signals are being processed and returned as a sensation of pain.

Why are scientists concerned that currently unknown medicinal plants may never be discovered?
Eduardwww [97]
The reasoning behind this is because these unidentified plants could be used to cure diseases, used for food, and many scientists may even use these plants to create cosmetics. I really hope this helps and I just thought this off the top of my head so its may not be 100% accurate but its the basics of it.
