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- APathological pain
- BInflammatory pain
- CNociceptive pain
- DParietal Pain
- EVisceral Pain
2The peripheral primary sensory afferent neurons activated by noxious stimuli are called [blank_start]nociceptors[blank_end]
- Anociceptors
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.- AA-delta-fibres
- BA-beta-fibres
- CB-fibres
- DC-delta-fibres
- EC-fibres
4An increased sensitivity to pain is called [blank_start]Hyperalgesia[blank_end]
- AHyperalgesia
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.
- AAllodynia
6[blank_start]Hyperalgesia[blank_end] Increased sensitivity to painful stimuli
[blank_start]Allodynia[blank_end] Pain caused by usually non-painful stimuli- AHyperalgesia
- BAllodynia
7The grey matter of the spinal cord is split into ten separate sections called the [blank_start]laminae of Rexed[blank_end]
- Alaminae of Rexed
- Blaminae of Main
- Claminae of Sutted
8Label the various locations of referred pain.

- AGall Bladder
- BAppendix
- CStomach/Pancreas
- DHeart
- EDiaphragm
- FLiver
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.- AViscerosomatic
- BVisceral
- CSomatic
- DViscerodermal
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.- APain
- BNociception
11Major Nociceptive Tracts:
[blank_start]The Spinothalamic Tract[blank_end]: Mainly projects fast fibre (A-delta-fibre) pain and is important in the localisation of painful stimuli
[blank_start]The Reticulospinal Tract[blank_end]: 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.- AThe Reticulospinal Tract
- BThe Spinothalamic Tract
