Answer: The correct answer to the question is option A

A-delta fibers; C fibers

When you stub your toe, you first feel a quick, sharp pain transmitted by A-DELTA FIBERS, and then a moment later, a dull, throbbing pain transmitted by C FIBERS

A-delta fibers are sensory nerve fibers that stimulate pain receptors,they transmit sensory information while C fibers are class if fibers found in the somatic sensory system,they are afferent fibers that conveys input signals from the periphery to the central nervous system.

Explanation: When one stubs the toe,the second-fastest nerve fibers carry messages not from the touch receptors, but the pain receptors; that explains the sharp pain a split second after the thud. They cause what's called second pain, the throbbing pain you feel a few seconds after you stub your toe.

When the toe is stubbed,the impact is felt first before the pain, you're slamming it with a force that is equal to 2-3 times your body weight. (that's about the same force as a karate punch) since the toe has a tiny surface area, that force can't spread out. So the pain stays concentrated at the point of impact before pain is felt,this happens as a result of nerve fibers processing the painful stimuli which brings about that feelings/sensation of pain,and it reverts back after the painful stimulus has been removed.

Stubbing of the tie brings about throbbing toe pain, swelling and bruising.

What are the two factors that affect the friction between two surfaces
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The two factors are:

• The kind/type of surface involved.

• The force that the surface are being pushed together.

Explanation:

Friction can be said to be the general term used to describe the force that one surface exert on another when they rub against each other.

When the surface is partially not smooth or totally rough, a greater force is been needed to move one surface past the other.

The weight of the can also significantly be a key factor. This is where the need to friction reduction come to play a role; and need for friction reducers like lubricant, rollers etc helps.

Explain how DNA replication differs in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?
Sindrei [870]

In prokaryotic cells, there is only one point of origin, replication occurs in two opposing directions at the same time, and takes place in the cell cytoplasm. Eukaryotic cells on the other hand, have multiple points of origin, and use unidirectional replication within the nucleus of the cell.

What is different about the compactness of DNA when a gene is turned on versus turned off.
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Gene expression is a tightly regulated process that allows a cell to respond to its changing environment. It acts as both an on/off switch to control when proteins are made and also a volume control that increases or decreases the amount of proteins made.
