DETAILED ANSWERS LATEST DOWNLOAD 2024/2025 BEST EXAM SOLUTION
GRADED TO SCORE A+ FOR SUCCESS
unmyelinated C fibers - CORRECT ANSWERS poorly localized dull pain that
can be detected by nociceptors
sensory/discriminative system - CORRECT ANSWERS processes
information about the pain (strength, intensity, temporal and spacial
aspects)
-occurs through afferent nerve fibers, spinal cord, brain stem, and higher
brain centers
motivational/affective system - CORRECT ANSWERS learned
approach/avoidance response to painful stimuli
-interaction of reticular formation, limbic system, and brain stem
cognitive/evaluative system - CORRECT ANSWERS interpretation of pain
influenced by culture, gender roles, and prior experiences
-can block, modulate, or intensify the perception of pain
pain threshold - CORRECT ANSWERS lowest intensity a stimuli is
perceived as pain
-stays relatively constant
perceptual dominance - CORRECT ANSWERS pain in one area can block
perception of pain in another
pain sensation - CORRECT ANSWERS an unpleasant but protective
phenomenon that is uniquely experienced by each individual
nociception - CORRECT ANSWERS processing harmful stimuli through
normally functioning nervous system

GRADED TO SCORE A+ FOR SUCCESS
nociceptors - CORRECT ANSWERS free nerve endings in skin, muscles,
joints, arteries, and the viscera that respond to chemical, mechanical, and
thermal stimuli
A-delta myelinated fibers - CORRECT ANSWERS localized fast pain
sensations that can be detected by nociceptors
pain tolerance - CORRECT ANSWERS amount of time or intensity that
individual will endure before pain response
-influenced by culture, expectations, role behaviors, and physical/mental
health
neurotransmitters of pain modulation - CORRECT ANSWERS modulate
control in periphery, spinal cord, and brain
-triggered by tissue injury and/or inflammation
excitatory neurotransmitters - CORRECT ANSWERS glutamate, aspartate,
substance P, calcitonin
inhibitory neurotransmitters - CORRECT ANSWERS GABA, glycine,
serotonin, norepinephrine
pathways of pain modulation - CORRECT ANSWERS -descending inhibitory
or facilitory pathway
-segmental inhibition of pain
-diffuse noxious inhibitory control
-expectancy-related cortical activation
descending inhibitory or facilitory pathway - CORRECT ANSWERS
inhibitory pathways

DETAILED ANSWERS LATEST DOWNLOAD 2024/2025 BEST EXAM SOLUTION
GRADED TO SCORE A+ FOR SUCCESS
-inhibit release of excitatory neurotransmitters
-release inhibitory neurotransmitters
segmental inhibition of pain - CORRECT ANSWERS A-beta fibers stimulate
inhibitory interneurons and decrease pain transmission
diffuse noxious inhibitory control - CORRECT ANSWERS pain relieved
when two noxious stimuli occur at the same time from different sites
expectancy-related cortical activation - CORRECT ANSWERS placebo effect
-cognitive expectations cause physiologic effects
acute pain - CORRECT ANSWERS protective mechanism that alerts an
individual to a condition or experience that is immediately harmful to the
body
-mobilizes individual to take prompt action
-usually lasts less than 6 months
-begins suddenly and relieved after pain stimulus removed
somatic acute pain - CORRECT ANSWERS superficial, skin or close to
surface of body
-A-delta fibers or C fibers
visceral acute pain - CORRECT ANSWERS internal organs, abdomen, or
skeleton
-c fibers
referred acute pain - CORRECT ANSWERS origin from distant point, nerve
supply from same spinal segment
