| Large nerve fibers appear to inhibit the transmission of pain impulses from the spinal cord to the brain through a (positive or negative) feedback mechanism? | Negative Feedback System |

| What does the "S" in the Pasero Opioid-Induced Sedation Scale stand for? | Sleep - easily aroused and no action needed |
| What does the "3" in the Pasero Opioid-Induced Sedation Scale stand for? | Frequently drowsy and drifts off to sleep during conversation |
