Why does the signal of pain move slower than other signals in the body? why does the nervous system allow this lag time, and how
Virty [35]
Pain signals move from peripheral nervous system to the spinal cord and many gates are present in between which regulate these signals. The slow pain signals then move from the spinal cord to the <span>hypothalamus and limbic system. The former releases hormones which are stress-related, the latter is associated with the emotions and feelings related to the same. These signals are slow because they pass through the brain parts which are responsible for the emotions also, which is limbic system and prefrontal cortex. This lag time enables the person to feel the severity of pain and protect from it. For example, the soldier feels less pain because he is attached to the war scenario in a different manner, as compared to the civilian, and therefore, pain signals follow a different pathway, leading to a feeling of comparatively lesser pain and other activities are less affected.</span>

Which of the following is NOT a reason why exercise routines should have clearly stated goals?
enot [183]
The option that isn’t a habit of healthy goal setting is D. Goal allow individuals to track their progress against others.

Your personal health is based on you as a person, not the records or plans of others. While there is a basic set line of what is healthy and what isn’t, each and every individual has different needs to achieve their best self. Comparing oneself to others not only lowers ones self esteem and empowerment, but isn’t healthy since someone else’s life isn’t applicable to yours. You are in charge of your own health and shouldn’t feel obliged to follow someone else’s plan or goals.

I hope this helps! :)
