Question 4

first pain fiber

Answer 4

Ag fiber (sharp and pricking)

Question 5

second pain fiber

Answer 5

C fiber (burning, aching pain, signals inflamed tissues)

Question 6

not activated by tissue-damaging event, activated by inflammation, very sensitive to mechanical stimulus

Answer 6

silent or sleeping

important in the development of primary hyperalgesia

Question 7

Transduction: inflammatory pain → ___

Answer 7

peripheral sensitization

Question 8

where does transduction occur

Answer 8

at the site of injujry

Question 9

increase of response to a noxious stimulus at injury

Answer 9

Question 10

pain response to non-noxious stimuli

Answer 10

Allodynia

Question 11

repetitive stimuli leads to central sensitization

Answer 11

Modulation

Question 12

Modulation leads to ______

Answer 12

Question 13

an increase of response to a noxious stimulus adjacent to injury.

Answer 13

Secondary hyperalgesia

Question 14

Modulation mediated by
