pain Flashcards
what type of pain arises from tissue damage, irritation or deformation
nociceptive pain
what two categories can nociceptive pain be categorized under
somatic or visceral
what is somatic nociceptive pain
musculoskeletal system related; sprains, strains, etc..
sharp and well localized
what is visceral nociceptive pain
viscera related; stretch, ischemia, inflammation
which pain is acute and may persist to chronic, and is caused by a nerve lesion
neuropathic pain
what is “other pain”
chronic pain, caused by sensitization or maladaptive processing
which theory believed that nociception and pain were synonymous
cartesian model
which theory contributed inhibitory signals, such as rubbing your head after hitting it
gate control theory
which theory believes there is only one ascending pathway that goes to the brain
descartes theory
which theory believes that pain and nociception are not synonymous
neuromatrix theory
what nerve fibers innervate the dentin-pulp complex
a-delta, a-beta, c-fibers
which specific fibers are located at the border between pulp and dentin
a-delta
which specific fibers are located in the core of the pulp
c-fibers
where do a-delta fibers transmit pain to
directly to thalamus
what type of pain do a-delta fibers transmit
fast, sharp localized pain
