Physiology VIII: Pain and Thermosensation

Question 1 of 11

1

There are 3 types of pain:
❌: The normal response to noxious insult or injury of tissues such as skin, muscles, visceral organs, joints, tendons, or bones.
❌: The result of activation of the pain pathway by the release of a variety of mediators such as IL-1-alpha, IL-1-beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha.
❌: A disease state caused by damage to the nervous system or by its abnormal function

( Viscerosomatic, Visceral, Somatic, Viscerodermal ) pain is a sharp and well-localised type of pain that occurs when an inflamed organ comes into contact with the body wall.

Think of appendicitis,; it is first visceral pain that refers to the umbilicus but then as it enlarges it comes into contact with the body wall and the pain shifts to the right iliac fossa.

Explanation

Question 10 of 11

1

Nociception and pain are two different things:
❌ is the sensory nervous system's response to noxious stimuli
❌ is the awareness of suffering

One can occur in absence of the other.

Question 11 of 11

1

Major Nociceptive Tracts:
❌: Mainly projects fast fibre (A-delta-fibre) pain and is important in the localisation of painful stimuli
❌: Mainly projects slow fibre (C-fibre) pain and is important in the alertness and emotional responses to pain. Our fear of pain arises from this tract.
