16-19. soruları parçaya göre cevaplayın.

Pain is a signal that protects us from harmful stimuli. An excess of any type of stimulus such as pressure, heat, cold, excessive mechanical stretch, and specific chemical compounds stimulates pain receptors. In the human body, pain receptors are the tips of certain sensory neurons found in almost every tissue. However, most internal organs are poorly supplied with pain receptors. For this reason, pain from internal structures is often difficult to locate. In fact, pain is often not projected back to the organ that is stimulated. Instead, it is referred to an area just under the skin that may be some distance from the organ involved. The area to which the pain is referred is connected to nerve fibres from the same level of the spinal cord as the organ involved.

16. According to the passage, although most of our body is thoroughly equipped with pain receptors, ----.*

A) this is not true for all the internal organs B) it is in the internal organs that they function most efficiently

B) it is in the internal organs that they function most efficiently

C) they are mostly located in the tissues of some internal organs

D) some of them are far more sensitive than others

E) the pain caused by heat and cold is much stronger than other kinds of pain

17. It is pointed out in the passage that, through pain, ----.*

A) the relationship between the spinal cord and an internal organ becomes extremely compromised

B) the function of the organs in the body is seriously reduced

C) the area in an internal organ which is most affected by a harmful stimulus can be identified right away

D) it is extremely easy to determine the excess of a harmful stimulus in an internal organ

E) we become aware of those stimuli in the body that can have an adverse effect

18. As can be understood from the passage, the stimulation of pain receptors ----.*

A) is much stronger in an internal organ than in any other area of the body

B) takes place only if the stimulus endangers the organs

C) depends a great deal on the kind of chemical compounds found in the body

D) occurs when any tissue in the body is overstimulated

E) clearly indicates the somatic importance of the spinal cord

19. It is explained in the passage that when a pain occurs in an internal organ, ----.*

A) it can be located immediately through the work of certain sensory neurons

B) it is usually felt in an area under the skin, which may not be close to the organ itself

C) pain receptors throughout the body begin to work efficiently

D) it is obvious that the organ cannot cope with a wide range of harmful stimuli

E) the connection between the organ and the spinal cord is seriously disrupted
