basic theories of pain (gate control theory) - CORRECT ANSWER: 1. Continued painful

3. The pain stimulus passes across to the dorsal horn and then up the spine to the
structures of the limbic system and the cerebral cortex.

The response, once generated, passes down the efferent pathways where reaction to
the pain is created.
