dopamine
epinephrine
glutamate
norepinephrine

39
Q

pain

A

complex, subjective, solitary experience
considered a thalamic sense as it is believed to arise from consciousness in the thalmus

types
acute
cancer related pain = is often mixed
chronic
nociceptive = threatened or actual tissue damage arising from
activation of nociceptors
neuropathic = generated by CNS
neuroplastic = modification of CNS signals
phantom
somatic = from neural receptors in skin
can be superficial or deep
referred = pain arsing apart from the site visceral pain
viseral = from neural receptors in internal organs
mixed

four processes
transduction = process of noxious stimuli leads to electrical activity
in the nociceptors
transmission = transmitting impulses from the site of transduction
over periphera; sensory nerves to the spinal cord
and onto the brain
modulation = neural activity descending through neural pathways
from the brain, with the capacity to influence signals
in the spinal cord
perception = subjective experience of the person

40
Q

pain-spasm-pain cycle

A

contraction of muscles causing ischemia (insufficient blood supply) and thus stimulating pain receptors in the muscles

41
Q
