Question
Answer
What are the 2 types of Pain Receptors?   Mecanothermal, Chemosensitive Nociceptors  
🗑
What triggers a Mechanothermal Nociceptor response?   Intense/Severe MECHANICAL stimuli, TEMPERATURE extremes  
🗑
What is an example of a Mecanothermal Nociceptor Stimulus?   Pinch  
🗑
What triggers a Chemosensitive Nociceptor response?   Major Truama --> releases Bradykinin, Histamine, Prostaglandins from injured cells  
🗑
What is an example of a Chemosensitive Nociceptor Stimulus?   major Infection, Disease, severe Burns - Cell Death  
🗑
Why do 3rd degree burns have less pain that 1st or 2nd degree burns?   deep tissue burns damage Chemosensitive Nociceptors  
🗑
Were do A-fibers come from?   from Mechanothermal Nociceptors  
🗑
What are 3 characteristics of A-fibers?   1. THICK well-myelinated; 2. FAST conduction velocity; 3. 1st PAIN  
🗑
Describe 1st Pain.   Short, Sharp, Stinging, Well-Localized  
🗑
Where does 1st pain occur?   propagated from SKIN only  
🗑
What are 3 characteristics of C-fibers?   1. THIN poorly-myelinated; 2. SLOW conduction velocity; 3. 2nd PAIN  
🗑
Describe 2nd Pain.   Long-Lasting, Burning  
🗑
Where does 2nd Pain occur?   propagated from Skin, Deep Tissues, Organs  
🗑
What is the significance of A-fibers?   responds to lower levels of injury - Early Warning, take evasive action  
🗑
Wat is the significance of C-fibers?   incapacitating pain - prevents further injury  
🗑
