PATHOPHYSIOLOGY NEURO FUNCTION (EXAM 2) QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
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



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

-activate opioid receptors

-inhibit release of excitatory neurotransmitters

-release inhibitory neurotransmitters



segmental inhibition of pain - CORRECT ANSWERS A-beta fibers stimulate inhibitory
interneurons and decrease pain transmission

GRADED TO SCORE A+ FOR SUCCESS

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



chronic pain - CORRECT ANSWERS pain lasting longer than expected healing time

-usually lasting at least 3-6 months



neuropathic pain - CORRECT ANSWERS dysfunction that causes long-term changes in
pain pathway structures and abnormal processing of sensory information

-application of pain without stimulation

-often described as burning, shooting, shocklike, or tingling
