List the four physiological processess of nociceptive (normal pain):
|
transduction
transmission perception modulation |
|
|
What kind of stimuli cause pain?
The energy of these stimuli convert too? |
Thermal
Chemical mechanical electrical energy-transduction |
|
|
Where does transduction begin?
What does transduction initiate? |
periphery where the pain producing stimuli sends an impulse across a sensory pain nerve fiber
action potential |
|
|
What occurs in the transmission process?
|
pain impulse spread causing inflammatory response
|
|
|
Perception is the point at which a person is?
What is released in this period? |
aware of the pain
inhibitory neurotransmitters (endorphins/enkephalins, seratonin, norepinephrine and GABA)--which work to hinder transmission of pain/produce analgesic effect |
|
|
Modulation is?
|
the inhibition of the pain impulse of the process of pain
|
|
|
General adaptation syndrome AKA?
|
fight-or-flight
sympathetic system |
