One day, you accidentally touch a hot stove given your knowledge about how information is processed in the body, which of the following is the best description of how you might perceive “pain? ”

a. information about “heat” would be collected and processed by the central nervous system.

b. information about “heat” would be collected and by the peripheral nervous system.

c. information about “heat” would be collected by the central nervous system and transmitted to the peripheral nervous system. the peripheral nervous system would then interpret that information and send a response back to the central nervous system.

d. information about “heat” would be collected through your fingertips and transmitted by the peripheral nervous system to the parietal lobe of the central nervous system. the central nervous system would then interpret that information and send a response back to the peripheral nervous system

The correct answer is D. Information about “heat” would be collected through your fingertips and transmitted by the peripheral nervous system to the parietal lobe of the central nervous system. The central nervous system would then interpret that information and send a response back to the peripheral nervous system

Explanation:

The nervous system is divided into two main sub-systems the central system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral system (nerves in all the body). In this way, information is first collected in the peripheral system through the nerves located in a specific part of the body, then this information is transferred to specific parts of the brain where it is processed and finally, a response is sent to the peripheral nervous system.

This implies in the case presented, heat is perceived by the fingerprint, then collected by the nerves in fingers, after this, the information is sent to the brain and more specifically to the parietal lobe that processes sensory information; and finally, a response is sent back which makes you move your finger to avoid heat.

it is either c or d and i know for sure it is not a or b

an individual’s sex (i.e., whether they are a male or female) is determined by the sex chromosomes. most people have two sex chromosomes, one that is inherited from their mother and one that is inherited from their father. typically, females have two x chromosomes (xx) and males have one x chromosome and one y chromosome (xy). conditions caused by changes (“mutations”) in genes located on the x chromosome are considered x-linked.

x-linked recessive inheritance

most x-linked conditions are recessive. this means that in a person with two x chromosomes (most females), both copies of a gene (i.e., one on each x chromosome) must have a change or mutation whereas in a person with one x chromosome (most males), only one copy of a gene must have a mutation. a female with a mutation in one copy of a gene on the x chromosome is said to be a “carrier” for an x-linked condition. a male with a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome is typically affected with the condition. because females have two copies of the x chromosome and males have only one x chromosome, x-linked recessive diseases are more common among males than females. however, x-linked recessive diseases can occur in both males and females.

for x-linked recessive disorders, an unaffected carrier mother who has a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome can transmit either the x chromosome with this mutation or a “normal” x chromosome to her children. if the father is unaffected, none of her daughters will be affected and all of her daughters will be unaffected—since they will inherit at least one normal x chromosome from their father. however, each daughter will have a 50% chance of being an unaffected carrier like her mother and a 50% chance of both x chromosomes being normal.
