20
Q

Inflammatory pain examples:

A

Appendictis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, herpes zoster

21
Q

Inflammatory pain mediators:

A

cytokines, TNF, acids, lipids, mast cells, ATP, vasoactive amines

22
Q

Types of nociceptors:

A
  • Mechanonociceptors - pinch and pinprick
  • Silent nociceptors - inflammation
  • Polymodal mechanoheat nociceptors - excessive pressure, heat, noxious substances (bradykinin, histamine, seratonin, H+, K+, prostaglandins, caspaicin, adenosine triphosphate)
23
Q

Nociceptive _ fibres from the esophagus, larynx and trachea travel with the ______ nerve to enter the ______ in the brainstem

A

C
vagus
nucleus solitarius

24
Q

Describe neurons structures in the pain pathway:

A
  • Primary afferent neurons are found in the dorsal root ganglia and contain an axon which bifurcates (one to the peripheral tissues and one to the dorsal horn)
  • Second order neurons are found in the dorsal horn and cross the midline to reach the thalamus (in the contralateral spinothalamic tract)
25
Q

Which are the main pain fibers?

A

Aδ (pain, temperature, touch), 2-5m diameter, 12-30 ms-1 conduction speed
(myelinated and fast)

C (dorsal root), pain, temprature, mechanoreceptors, reflex responses, 0.4-1.2m fibre diameter, 0.5-2ms-1 conduction speed

26
Q

Excitatory neurotransmitters modulating pain:

A

Substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide, glutamate, aspartate, ATP

27
Q

Main excitatory pain neurotransmitters and their location:

A
  • Glutamate - main CNS NT
  • Substance P - DRG
    Calcitonin gene-related peptide - DRG
27
Q

Inhibitory neurotransmitters modulating pain:

A

Somatostatin, acetylcholine, enkephalins, B-endorphin, norepinephrine, adenosine, serotonin, GABA, glycine

28
