Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Messages from the body's pain-reminding system pass through the pain gate and on to a central biasing system, which helps to filter and modulate the pain signals that ultimately reach consciousness. This is known as the Gate Control Theory of Pain. Closing the spinal gate directly (A) or inhibiting the production of endorphins (C) would not address the pain signals that have already been transmitted. Stimulating the release of dopamine (D) may help to promote a positive mood and sense of reward, but it would not directly impact the pain signals themselves.
