  1. 1There are 3 types of pain:
    [blank_start]Nociceptive pain[blank_end]: The normal response to noxious insult or injury of tissues such as skin, muscles, visceral organs, joints, tendons, or bones.
    [blank_start]Inflammatory pain[blank_end]: 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.
    [blank_start]Pathological pain[blank_end]: A disease state caused by damage to the nervous system or by its abnormal function
    1. APathological pain
    2. BInflammatory pain
    3. CNociceptive pain
    4. DParietal Pain
    5. EVisceral Pain
  2. 2The peripheral primary sensory afferent neurons activated by noxious stimuli are called [blank_start]nociceptors[blank_end]
    1. Anociceptors
  3. 3Types of Nociceptor:
    [blank_start]A-delta-fibres[blank_end] respond to 'fast pain' such as stabbing, pricking, etc
    [blank_start]C-fibres[blank_end] respond to 'slow pain' such as burning, throbbing, cramping.
    1. AA-delta-fibres
    2. BA-beta-fibres
    3. CB-fibres
    4. DC-delta-fibres
    5. EC-fibres
  4. 4An increased sensitivity to pain is called [blank_start]Hyperalgesia[blank_end]
    1. AHyperalgesia
  5. 5[blank_start]Allodynia[blank_end] is a condition whereby an individual experiences pain in response to a stimulus that would not normally provoke the sensation of pain.
    1. AAllodynia
  6. 6[blank_start]Hyperalgesia[blank_end] Increased sensitivity to painful stimuli
    [blank_start]Allodynia[blank_end] Pain caused by usually non-painful stimuli
    1. AHyperalgesia
    2. BAllodynia
  7. 7The grey matter of the spinal cord is split into ten separate sections called the [blank_start]laminae of Rexed[blank_end]
    1. Alaminae of Rexed
    2. Blaminae of Main
    3. Claminae of Sutted
  8. 8Label the various locations of referred pain.Image for question 8
    1. AGall Bladder
    2. BAppendix
    3. CStomach/Pancreas
    4. DHeart
    5. EDiaphragm
    6. FLiver
  9. 9[blank_start]Viscerosomatic[blank_end] 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.
    1. AViscerosomatic
    2. BVisceral
    3. CSomatic
    4. DViscerodermal
  10. 10Nociception and pain are two different things:
    [blank_start]Nociception[blank_end] is the sensory nervous system's response to noxious stimuli
    [blank_start]Pain[blank_end] is the awareness of suffering

    One can occur in absence of the other.
    1. APain
    2. BNociception
