Q

How does aspirin have analgesic effect?

A

decreased prostanoid synthesis
leads to less sensitisation of
nociceptors to effects of mediators
e.g. 5-HT, kinins etc

Q

How does aspirin have antipyretic effect?

A 
centre in hypothalamus regulates
body temperature
• in fever temp raised due to

25
Q

pain vs nociception

A

pain emotion and chemical, nociception is the detection of noxious stimuli

26
Q

explain the ascending pathway following nociception

A
  1. fibres ( Abeta (mechanoception) or A delta fibres (mechano and noci) or C fibres (deep pain, shallow itching)
  2. synapse in superficial lamina of dorsal horn spinal chord
  3. decussate
  4. to brainstem, midbrain, thalamus then:
    a) cingulate cortex
    b) somatorsensory cortex
    c) limbic system
27
Q

Describe descending pathway of limbic system:

A
  1. PAG (periaquaductal grey matter)
  2. RVM (rsotral ventromedial medulla)
  3. superficial lamina of dorsal horn of spinal chord

convert AA (from damadged phospholipid) to various intermediates (PGG2, PGH2) : prostacylin (PHI2) , prostoglandins ( PGE2 or PGF2) , tromboxanes (TXA2)

36
Q

What is capsaicins responsible?

A

pain with chilli

37
Q

What is role of eicosanoids

A

enhance pain producing effects of other agents (doesn’t stimulate nociceptive nerve endings)

38
Q

What does C-fibre activation cause the release of?

A

neuropeptide release (SP and CGRP)

39
Q

What 3 things occur in inflammation?

A
  1. nerve growth factor
  2. mediator release (BK, 5-HT, PGs)
  3. Neuropeptide releases (Substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide)
40
Q
