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.

How are the layers of Earth and the spheres of Earth related?
RideAnS [48]

Answer: Everything in Earth's system can be placed into one of four major subsystems: land, water, living things, or air. These four subsystems are called "spheres." Specifically, they are the "lithosphere" (land), "hydrosphere" (water), "biosphere" (living things), and "atmosphere" (air).

sergiy2304 [10]

As we know the immune system is a complex of cells, tissues, and organs working together to avoid disease, now there are several types of defense, the most simple and first to act are physical barriers like skin or hairs, this stop physically the advance of pathogens, therefore we can say that the correct answer is option C.

You are doing lab work with a new species of beetle. You have isolated lines that breed true for either blue shells and long ant
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

33.3 cM

Explanation:

Parent 1: blue shell, long antenna : BBLL

Parent 2: green shell, short antenna : bbll

BBLL X bbll :

F1 : BbLl ( blue shell, long antenna )

BbLl X bbll :

BL/bl = 82 : Parental

bl/bl = 78 : Parental

Bl/bl = 37 : Recombinant

bL/bl = 43 : Recombinant

Total = 240

Recombination frequency = (Number of recombinants/ Total offspring)*100

= (80/240) * 100 = 33.33 %

Map distance = recombination frequency

Hence, map distance = 33.3 cM

(6)A population begins at 42 individuals,climbs to 122 individuals and then levels off. This trend best illustrates which of the
N76 [4]

The answer is B.

This is because it says that the population tends to level off meaning that it stays around the same population size since it is the maximum amount of individuals that can survive.
