Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

The gatecontrol theory of pain suggests that there is a neural gate in the spinal cord that regulates the transmission of pain information to the brain. The gate is not a physical structure as such. It refers to a pattern of neural activity that can either block pain or let pain signals through. A bottleneck may occur at the gate if too many signals are present. Dull and throbbing pain is transmitted via thin and slow nerve fibers. Other skin sense information travels via thicker, faster fibers. If this information reaches the gate first, it may prevent the pain information from getting through, thereby reducing the experience of pain.
