Q

A fibres

A
  • larger, myelinated, rapid transmission
  • sharp, well localized, “fast” pain sensation
  • cause reflex of withdrawl

Q

C fibres

A
  • more numerous, smaller, and unmyelinated
  • local in muscle, tendon, body organs, skin
  • dull, aching, or durning; constant

Q

sensory-discriminative system

A
  • identifying presence, character, location, and intensity of pain

25
Q

neuropathic pain

A

A

depression/anxiety

39

A

analgesic

40

A

multimodal

41
Q

neuromatrix theory

A
  • multiple factors contribute to pain
  • genetic, psychological, sensory, emotional, and cognitive experiences
42
Q

sings and symptoms of neuropathic pain

A
  • pain begins in one area, spreads to multiple points in the body
  • fatigue (affects daily living)
43
Q

what is an example of neuropathic pain

A

fibromyalgia

44
Q

thermoregulation is mediated by

A

the hypothalmus and endocrine system

45
Q

radiation

A
  • heat loss/transfer through electromagnetic waves
  • no contact
46
Q

convection

A
  • heat loss through movement of air across skin
47
Q

conduction

A
  • heat transfer
  • movement of heat from one object to another
48
Q

fever

A
  • temporary increase in body temperature
  • reset its internal thermostat in response to exogenous and endogenous pyrogens
49
Q

fever benefits

A
  • Kills bacteria
  • ↓ bacteria replication
  • Prevents viral replication
  • Facilitates immune response
  • ↑phagocytosis
