ASAP Explain the physiological and psychological factors that determine how someone may experience pain. Discuss the following concepts in your response, and explain whether each concept relates to a physiological or psychological response to pain, or both:
Gate-control theory Memories of pain Biology of the brain/body Sociocultural influences Pain control

“Psychological factors, both situational and emotional factors exist when we experience pain and can profoundly alter the strength of these perceptions. Also, attention, understanding, control, expectations, and the aversive significance can affect pain perceptions.” Pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

“Physiological signs of pain may include: dilation of the pupil and/ or wide opening of the eyelids. Change in blood pressure and heart rate. Increased respiration rate and/or depth.” Www.vet.ed.ac.uk

“This theory suggest that the spinal cord contains a neurological “gate” that either blocks pain signals or allows them to continue on to the brain.” Www.verywellmind.com

Answer(18);

The answer is    (d) 7/2======we have    we also  have an integral      notice how function f splits up at x = 0. there's a left piece and a right pieceso we'll need to do the same thing with our integral: split it at x = 0we use a property of integrals that allows us to split up and sum:     notice that for the piecewise function f, the function has the equationf(x) = x when x  ≤ 0. so for the integral  , f(x) = x so it changes into      for the piecewise function f, the function has the equationf(x) = x+1  when x  > 0. for the integral  , we have    therefore, back to our splitted integral:
