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.

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

i dont  think i can explain it easy sorry

Explanation:

The first law, also known as Law of Conservation of Energy,Thermal energy is the internal energy of an object due to the kinetic energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system. | Nuclear energy originates from the splitting of uranium atoms a process called fission. This generates heat to produce steam, which is used by a turbine generator.

then the chemical bonds are broken, | the potential energy is released in the form of kinetic energy or energy of motion and heat or non useable energy. The kinetic energy is used to do work. | Objects have mechanical energy if they are in motion and or if they are at some position relative to a zero potential energyposition for example, a brick held at a vertical position above the ground or zero height position. A moving car possesses mechanical energy due to its motion

The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of any isolated system always increases.

dexar [7]

Answer:

The ability to produce sweat to cool their bodies.

Explanation:

Evolution may be defined as the change in the the characteristics of the species with respect to time. The process of the natural selection plays an important role in evolution.

As the humans are living in hot and dry areas, this allow the change in their physiology and genes that help them to survive according to the environment. The humans produce more sweat. They have well developed sweat glands. These glands help in the production of sweat that ultimately causes cooling in their body.
