Answer: By moderating your attention degree to the pain/disease stimuli, you can feel more or less pain sensation. When you <u>pay attention</u> to a certain stimulation, it starts to <u>govern your behavior towards the stimulus</u>, and your <u>thalamus</u> is more active. While <u>distracted</u>, the <u>pre-frontal cortex region</u> is more active, and this region is responsible for <u>diminishing the pain feeling</u>. Understanding how some regions of the nervous system work can, thus, help on alleviate those sensations.

Answer:

Explanation:

The nervous system comprehends the brain, the spinal marrow and a complex web of cells and nerves. The main function of the nervous system is to carry messages from the brain and to the brain.  

The nervous system can be divided in two; the central nervous system (brain and spinal marrow) and the peripheral system (nervous web that links the rest of the body with the central nervous system).  

The nerves are part of the peripheral system. There are two types; sensitive nerves and movement nerves - although the majority of them are a mix. One of the functions of the nerves is to transport sensory signs like pain into the central nervous system.  

A direct relation presents itself involving knowledge of the central nervous system and pain. The more we know about the variables of the nervous system, the more we understand how pain is produced, transported and interpreted. When we understand those variables, we are able to control them and, reduce or stop a stimulus like pain.  

A disease can be defined as an abnormal functioning of a component of the human body. This abnormal functioning can be cause by external agents (pathogens) or internal causes. As presented above, a direct relation can be established between the understanding of the nervous system and disease. The more we know about the way our body interprets pathogens and stimulus, the more we can controlled them.

What is the role of mitochondria?
Simora [160]

Answer: The most prominent roles of mitochondria are to produce the energy currency of the cell, ATP (i.e., phosphorylation of ADP), through respiration, and to regulate cellular metabolism. The central set of reactions involved in ATP production are collectively known as the citric acid cycle, or the Krebs cycle.

50 POINTS PLS HELP MEEE
Vilka [71]

The cell placed within the hypertonic solution will quickly become dehydrated due to the concentration gradients and osmosis.

<em>Though I cannot provide the drawing of the cell, I can describe what a </em><em>hypertonic solution </em><em>is and what effect it would have on the </em><em>cell</em><em>. </em>

A hypertonic solution is a solution that when compared to another solution or object, has a higher concentration of solute. If made into a drawing, this would look like the cell is in water, but said water contains a large amount of solute, like <em>sugar </em>for example.

Hypertonic solutions can cause water to move. The water moves through a process known as Osmosis, which is the tendency of water to move towards a location that has a higher concentration of solute, in order to dissolve this concentration. Since the liquid inside the cell has a lower concentration of solute than the environment, the water inside the cell will escape through osmosis and can severely dehydrate the cell.
