Answer: The gate-control theory of pain modulation

Explanation: when we touch a hot surface, receive insect bite or a traumatic experience some signals are sent to the brain that causes the individual to withdraw from the causative agent or respond in a way to reduce the pain. The gate-control theory of pain modulation proposed that activation of non nociceptive fibres ( nerves which do not transmit pain signals)can interfere with signals from pain fibers, thereby inhibiting pain.

Therefore by rubbing your skin after receiving a painful stimulus often result in a feeling as though the pain has been lessened is an example of gate-control theory of pain modulation.

Answer:

Rubbing the skin after receiving a painful stimulus lessened the pain because it is hypothesized that inhibitory interneurons are activated by the collaterals of an activated neuron associated with a mechanoreceptor from the skin.

The gate-control theory of pain modulation may account for this phenomenon.

Hi, your question isn't quite clear. However, I inferred you want confirmation about opening a business document on a standard browser.

Answer:

<u>Yes, that's one method to do so.</u>

Explanation:

<em>Remember,</em> unlike a typical business document format saved on a word processor application, webpages are written using a computer language format called HTML (HyperText Markup Language).

Just as mentioned If one wants a business document to be opened with a standard browser, they need to save the document in the HTML format by

  • clicking the Save As option in the word processor software (eg MS Word),
  • next, In the dialog box that opens, select Save As type as .HTML (or Single File Web Page) file. By so doing the document can be opened on a standard browser like Chrome.
