Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The affective-motivational system determines an individual's conditioned avoidance behaviors and emotional responses to pain. The sensory-discriminative system is mediated by the soma-tosensory cortex and is responsible for identifying the presence, character, location, and intensity of pain. The sensory-motivational system is not a system in the response to pain. The cogni-tive-evaluative system overlies the individual's learned behavior concerning the experience of pain and can modulate perception of pain.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 33
