Somatosensation

Question 1

pain perception is via the blank pathway

Answer 1

anterolateral (spinothalamic)

Question 2

somatosensory information is carried into spinal cord via the blank ganglion cells

Answer 2

dorsal root

Question 3

best tactile resolution cells

Answer 3

merkel cell

Question 4

lowest resolution receptors

Answer 4

pacinian corpuscle

Question 5

fibers relaying proprioception

Answer 5

alpha

Question 6

fibers relaying info from cutaneous mechanoreceptors

Answer 6

beta

Question 7

fibers relaying nerve endings (pain fast)

Answer 7

delta,

Question 8

fibers from nerve ending that is noxious pain

Answer 8

c

Question 9

mechanoreceptors project to functionally segregated portions of blank

Answer 9

dorsal horn lamina

Question 10

nociception involves activation of receptors that include the blank class of receptors

Answer 10

TRP

Question 11

inflammatory pain inovlves release of a number of factors that can activate blank

Answer 11

free nerve endings

Question 12

major nt of pain

Answer 12

glutamate, substance p

Question 13

in gate control theory painful stimulus causes a strong activation of blank neurons

Answer 13

projection

Question 14

pleasurable stimulus activates beta fibers via cutaneous mechanoreceptor, leads to modulation of blank

Answer 14

pain sensation

Question 15

normal sensory input that results in pain is from blank in the synapse

Answer 15

glutamate/neuropeptides

Question 16

descending pathways activate interneurons that release blank, which inhibits pain

Answer 16

enkephalin

Question 17

perception of touch (tactile) is via blank pathway

Answer 17

dorsal
