Answer:

C. responds to damage

Explanation:

It is believed, according to the specificity theory that pain has it's own set of receptors and nerve endings that is assigned to perceive pain. There are specialised peripheral receptors that react to 'damage' caused by the specific pain. So, this theory of specificity is classified as pain and pain perception being it's own independent sense just like seeing, hearing and feeling and tasting etc.

Answer:

C. relates the amount of pain to the amount of soft tissue injury.

Explanation:

Specificity theory of pain, which is one of the first modern theories of pain, states that there are unique sensory receptors and sensory fibers that are responsible for transmitting of signals of pain to the part of the brain to interpret pain through neural pathways, which are different from other systems of sensory sensation like vision. It holds that these sensory receptors of pain respond to damage, and thereby sends the signals to the brain. According to this theory, the amount of pain the brain perceives can be related to the amount of soft tissue injury, as pain is produced by impulses transmitted to the pain center in the brain as a result of an injury.

Georgia [21]

Answer:

When penicillin was discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928 it was a miracle drug that would permanently eradicate tuberculosis and many other bacteria causing disease but due to it's extensive use many bacteria especially tuberculosis become resistant to it.

Bacteria become resistance because they can make mutation in their  genomes and make antibiotic resistant gene which they can transfer to other bacteria too.

So to slow down their evolution doctors now recommend antibiotic only when needed. Multiple antibiotics are given so that no bacteria survive for mutation. Human should discover new vaccines to decrease load on antibiotics which slows down the evolution of antibiotic resistance.

The fact that many people came to the US from Europe and the various countries of Africa, as well as the Middle east and Asia.
