Answer:

At a level in the spinal cord  

Explanation:

The gate theory was elaborated in 1965 by P.D. Wall and r. Melzack, to explain the influence of tactile skin stimulation on pain relief. It essentially admits that there exists in the medullar posterior horns (located behind the central canal of the spinal cord) a gate-acting neural mechanism that can control the passage of nerve impulses transmitted from the peripheral fibers to the CNS through the medulla.

The gate regulates the influx of nociceptive impulses even before a perception of pain is created. The variation in the passage of action potentials (nociceptive) that the gate produces is determined by the activity of the thick (A-alpha and A-beta) and thin (A-delta and C) fibers, as well as cognitive influences.

Which of the following is a reasonable explanation for why unsaturated fatty acids help keep any membrane more fluid at lower te
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Option (E).

Explanation:

The cell membrane constitute the phospholipid bilayer, proteins and small amounts of carbohydrates. The unsaturated fatty acids contain the double and triple bond in its structure.

The introduction of double bond introduces the kink in its structure and makes the membrane less rigid. This prevents the packaging of the lipid tightly and makes the membrane more permeable. This makes the membrane more fluid even at the lower temperature.

Thus, the correct answer is option (E).
