A

Both noxious and non noxious input

24
Q

Physiologic Pain

A

Acute, critical for survival, bodies own warning signal, 0.1 sec. Very adaptive
Ad mech or thermal

25
Q

Pathologic Pain

A

Chronic, begins after 1 sec after stimulus, usually associated w/ tissue injury. Maladaptive, persistant & slow conducting
Dull, throbbing,aching, nauseaus, emotional

26
Q

Nociceptive Pain

A

Physiologic pain, transient, localized, no real or minimal tissue
WARNING

27
Q

Inflammatory Pain

A 
Acute & Chronic
Tissue damage
Inflammatory process
Hypersensitivity
Protective, promotes healing
28
Q

Dysfunctional Pain

A

No understanding lesion found, disproportionate to tissue injury
IBS, Fibromyalgia

29
Q

Neuropathic Pain

A

Damage to CNS or PNS
Disproportionate to intensity of nocicepter activation
Pathologic pain, maladaptive
No protective fx

30
Q

Physio pain processing

A

Transduction
Transmission
Modulation
Perception

31
Q

Inflammatory soup 1

A

Tissue injury causes release of Bradykinin, 5HT, prostaglandins, K+ stimulate C fibers

32
Q

Inflammatory soup 2

A

Active C fiber release CGRP and Substance P, stimulates mast cells -> histamine

33
Q

Inflammatory soup 3

A

CGRP & substance P released by C fiber cause the dilation of blood vessels

34
Q

Primary Hyperalgesia

A 
Peripheral process
Spreading of action potentials
Up sensitivity
Up receptive field
Inflammatory mediators & Substance P
Activate SILENT Nociceptors
35
