    • Comforts us.

    • Saved us.

    Correct Answer
    A. A and b

This adaptive response has allowed our ancestors to survive and pass on their genes to future generations. Therefore, the correct answer is "a and b" as pain serves the dual purpose of warning and protecting us.

They also normalise the unusual experiences that individuals may have during grief, such as feeling disconnected from reality or having vivid dreams.

    • Loss

    • Grief

    • Mourning

    The word "grief" is the most suitable answer because it specifically refers to the emotional experience of deep sorrow or sadness that is often associated with the loss of someone or something significant.

  • 22. 

    Historically it was assumed that ___ was associated with the extent of the pain.

    • Fever

    • Length of discomfort

    • Tissue damage

    • Sweating

    Correct Answer
    A. Tissue damage
    Explanation
    Historically, it was believed that the extent of pain was associated with tissue damage. This assumption stemmed from the idea that when tissues are damaged, pain signals are sent to the brain, resulting in the perception of pain. Therefore, the more extensive the tissue damage, the more intense the pain was thought to be. This belief has been challenged in recent years, as research has shown that pain is a complex phenomenon influenced by various factors, including psychological and social factors. Nonetheless, historically, tissue damage was considered a significant factor in the experience of pain.

    Which of the following nerve fibres do not send messages to the brain and thereby act to keep the gate closed?

    • A-delta

    • C-fibres

    • A-beta

    • B-fibres

    Correct Answer
    A. A-beta
    Explanation
    A-beta nerve fibers do not send messages to the brain and instead act to keep the gate closed. These fibers are responsible for transmitting non-painful sensations, such as touch and pressure, from the body to the central nervous system. Their role is to inhibit the transmission of pain signals, helping to close the "gate" and reduce the perception of pain.

    __ reflects the acts of expressions of grief.

    • Bereavement

    • Loss

    • Mourning

    • Guilt

    Correct Answer
    A. Mourning
    Explanation
    Mourning is the act of expressing grief, typically after the loss of a loved one. It involves various rituals, customs, and behaviors that are culturally specific and may include wearing black clothing, attending funerals, or participating in religious ceremonies. Bereavement refers to the state of experiencing grief after a loss, while loss refers to the actual event of losing someone or something.
