  • organic pain varies from dull to severe - poorly localized - radiated to dermatology level receiving visceral afferent fibers from diseased organ ( based on embryologic origin of organ involved) - Foregut organs: produce pain in the epigastric region - stomach, duodenum, biliary tract - Midgut organs: cause periumbilical pain - most SI, appendix, cecum - Hind Gut: cause initial pain in the suprapubic or hypogastric area - most of colon, 1/2 of sigmoid, intraperitoneal portions of the genitourinary tract
