Answer to Question 1

Answer: Analgesia refers to reduced pain reactivity. Endogenous opioid systems are triggered by certain environmental events which leads to endorphin releasewhich induces analgesia. Copulation is associated with a certain degree of analgesia.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The basilar membrane shows distortion as sound waves are transmitted through the oval window by the stapes. High-frequency tones produce a maximal distortion in the basilar membrane near the oval window. Low-frequency tones produce distortion farther away from the oval window.
