Answer:

In the gums

Explanation:

Lidocaine is a compound which can be used as a local anaesthetic. This anaesthesia works by blocking the voltage-gated channels which allows the influx of the sodium ions. As the sodium ions do not enter therefore an action potential is not generated in the axons as a result of which no pain is felt in the area.

In the given since the lidocaine is used by the dentist therefore the dentist in order to treat some dental problem must inject the lidocaine in the gums where the sensory receptors of the teeth are present.

Thus, in the gums is the correct answer.

valkas [14]

The piece of cheese in the refrigerator had the least amount of chemical change.

  • Moulding occurs on substances which are warm and moist
  • Mold thrives in warm and humid places
  • In refrigerators, the environment is cool and dry
  • This environment hinders the growth of mold
  • The bacteria and fungi require optimum temperatures to flourish, which is not present in a refrigerator
  • The cheese placed outside and on the counter will grow mold as those environments do not arrest the growth of mold
  • Refrigeration ensures that food is not spoilt

Therefore, the least amount of chemical change takes place on the cheese placed in the refrigerator.
