Question:
Elements and processes involved in pain experience
Answer:
Transduction, transmission, perception of pain, modulation
Question:
Transduction
Answer:
Activation of pain receptors Conversion of painful stimuli into electrical impulses that travel from the periphery to spinal cord at dorsal horn
Question:
Transmission
Answer:
Pain sensations from site of injury or inflammation conducted along pathways (A-delta and C-delta fibers) to spinal cord and then higher centers
- / 4
Question:
Perception
Answer:
Awareness of characteristics of pain and persons interpretation of pain Pain threshold—minimum intensity of a stimulus that is perceived as painful Adaptation may affect perception of pain
Question:
Modulation
Answer:
Inhibition or modification of pain Regulated or modified by Neuromodulators—morphine-like chemical regulators in spinal cord and brain that have analgesic activity and alter perception of pain Endorphins, dynorphins, enkaphalins
Question:
Endorphins
Answer:
Opioid neuromodulator Released when certain measures are used to relieve pain Pain-blocking chemical with prolonged analgesic effects and produce euphoria 3 / 4
Question:
Dynorphins
Answer:
Released when certain measures are used to relieve pain
Question:
Enkephalines
Answer:
Opioid neuromodulator Reduce pain by inhibiting release of substance P from terminals of afferent neurons Less potent than endorphins
Question:
