Q

What are beta fiber neurons?

A

Sensory nerve fibers responsible for transmitting signals related to touch and pressure sensation (mechanoreception) to the CNS -

non=noxious/feather

Relatively large and myelinated which allows for a faster transmission of signals.

Q

Difference between neuropathic pain and nociceptive pain.

Q

Pathophysiology of chronic pain

A

Peripheral sensitization - occurs in the peripheral nervous system, where nociceptors (pain receptors) become sensitized and more responsive to painful stimuli. Is often associated with inflammation or nerve dmg and leads to increased pain sensitivity in the affected area.

Central Sensitization: changes in the CNS. CNS becomes hypersensitive - amplifying pain signals and reducing pain threshold. As a result non-painful stimuli can be perceived as painful. The can remain after inflammation or initial injury has healed.

Q

Patho of chronic pain

A

Moves from peripheral process to Central sensitization

29
Q

Anxiety pathophysiology

A

SEE A BEAR → amygdala is stimulated → sympathetic nervous system stimulated → hypothalamus stimulated → stimulates anterior pituitary gland → cortisol is released → catacholimines are released (epinephrine) → energy/rediness to run for your life

30
Q

Benzo overdose antidote

A

Flumazenil

31
Q

Benzos can treat insomnia in …
