1 Transmission: neurons transmit these signals to pain-processing structures of the spinal cord and brain. 2  Modulation: the signals can be amplified or dampened at various points in the pathway to facilitate or inhibit transmission, thereby enhancing or reducing the sensation of pain.

Fertilization occurs when the nucleus of both a sperm and an egg fuse to form a diploid cell, known as zygote. The successful fusion of gametes forms a new organism.
