Pain, Headache, and Thermal sensations Flashcards
0.1 second after sharp, pricking, acute , electric. Not felt in most deep tissues
Fast pain
1sec or more but increase slowly in intensity. Slow burning, aching, throbbing, nauseous, and chronic. It is prolonged unbearable suffering
Slow pain
Widespread in the superficial layers of the skin
Pain receptor
What is the chemical pain
Bradykinin, Serotonin, Histamine, K ions, acids, Ach, and proteolytic enzymes
What enhances sensitivity of pain endings but do not directly excite them
Prostaglandins and substance P
What is the fastest receptor to adapt
Pacinian corpuscle
Increase in sensitivity of the pain receptors is called
Hyperalgesia
At what degrees the skin tissue starts to be damage by heat
45 degree C
Suggested to be the agent that is most responsible for causing pain after tissue damage
Bradykinin
A sharp pain that is transmitted to the brain by the (A8) fiber pathway
Double pain sensation
Unmyelinated, slower fiber
Type C fiber
Type A, delta fibers
Ad
Crossover very early in the anterior commissure of the Spinal cord to travel to the opposite side
Spinothalamic tract
Relay station, detects almost all sensory felt in the periphery
Thalamus
Spinothalamic tract neurotransmitter used
Glutamate
Pain inhibitory complex. A pain supression
Analgesia system
body’s natural pain control (analgesia) system
Enkephalin and serotonin
What are the natural opiate of the brain
Beta endorphin
met-enkephalin
leu enkephalin
dynorphin
Suppressing pain with use of electrical stimulation
Brain’s Opiate system
Person will feel pain on an area that is remote from the tissue causing pain
Referred pain
Formation of acidic metabolic end products or tissue-degenerative products
Ischemia
Damaging substances leak from the gastrointestinal tract into the peritoneal cavity
Chemical stimuli
Mechanical stimulation if the nerve endings
Spasm
Overstretched of the tissue
Overdistention
