seconds to less than 6 months)
Acute pain
What is a privately experiences, unpleasant sensation usually associated with disease
or injury
Pain
What is the kind of pain that includes the noxious stimuli that are transmitted from
the point of cellular injury over peripheral sensory nerve to pathways between the
spinal cord and thalamus and eventually from the thalamus to the cerebral cortex of
the brain and is subdivided into somatic and visceral pain
Nociceptive pain
What is the type of pain that is caused by mechanical, chemical, thermal, or electrical
injuries or disorders affecting bones, joints, muscles, skin, or other structures
composed of connective tissue
Somatic pain
What is another name for superficial somatic pain
Cutaneous pain
,What type of pain is perceived as sharp or burning discomfort; such as that from an
insect bite or paper cut
Superficial somatic pain
What is pain such as that caused by trauma procedures; localized sensations that are
sharp, throbbing, and intense or like a fracture that is dull, aching, diffuse discomfort
and is more common with long term disorders such as arthritis
Deeper somatic pain
What is pain that arises from internal organs such as the heart, kidneys, and

specialized pain receptors located in the free nerve endings of peripheral sensory
nerves
Nociceptors
What is the phrase during which peripheral nerve fibers form synapses with neurons
in the spinal cord called? correct answers The pain impulses move from the spinal
cord to sequentially higher levels in the brain. The impulses ascend to the reticular
activating system, the limbic system, the thalamus, and finally the cerebral cortex
