The reflex process begins when the tack, or stimulus, makes contact with the integument on the bottom of the foot; this is the arrival of a stimulus. The stimulus’ pathway starts at the epidermis, where it will penetrate all five layers, from the outermost stratum corneum, it travels through the stratum lucidum, stratum granulosum, and stratum spinosum, all the way to the innermost stratum basale. From there, it will continue into the dermis, where there is an extensive network of nerve endings and nerve fibers throughout the two layers of the dermis. The papillary layer contains Meissner’s corpuscles, touch receptors that are sensitive to light touch, which would be able to sense the feeling of the tack making contact with the epidermis. Within the reticular layer are Pacinian corpuscles, touch receptors that can detect deep pressure and vibration, such as the pressure of the tack against the foot. However, when the mechanical pressure of the tack against the tissue of the foot becomes so strong that it causes damage, pain receptors known as nociceptors take over. Once the tack

A utilitarian would view this war and any war as morally wrong unless it obeys the points of the “just war theory” and Mill’s “greatest happiness principle.” To go deeper into the facts of the war in Iraq, one can conclude that the war was morally unjust because aspects of the just war theory were violated as well

It causes significant morbidity, suffering, disability and over utilization of health care systems. CPS is a poorly defined condition. Most authors consider ongoing pain lasting longer than 6 months as diagnostic, and others have used 3 months as the minimum criterion. In chronic pain, the duration parameter is used arbitrarily. Some authors suggest that any pain that persists longer than the reasonable expected healing time for the involved tissues should be considered chronic pain.
