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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
