Question
Answer
What is the definition of Endogenous Opiods?   Opiate-like transmitter substances having INHIBITORY effects on C-fiber Pain  
🗑
Name 2 types of Endogenous Opiods.   Endorphins, Enkephalins  
🗑
Where are Endogenous Opiods located?   Brain, Spinal Cord  
🗑
What is the function of Gate Control Theory?   BLOCK Excrutiating/Redundant Pain  
🗑
What is "Closed Gate" ?   A-fiber dominates over C-fiber Pain  
🗑
How does "Closed Gate" Inhibition work?   A-fiber exerts PREsynaptic Inhibition at C-fiber synapses via Enkephalin-releasing Interneurons  
🗑
What are some examples of Closed Gate Inhibition?   Counter Irritation, Acupuncture  
🗑
What is "Open Gate"?   dominence of C-fiber activity can override A-fiber Inhibition --> prolonged, high intensity Pain  
🗑
What are some example of "Open Gate" pain?   Headache, Muscle/Joint Pain, Tumors  
🗑
What is the significance of Open Gate Pain?   forces Action Evasion --> opportunity to Heal  
🗑
How does descending Inhibition work?   Neurons from Cerebrum can act through Enkephalin-releasing fibers at Spinal Gate  
🗑
What are 2 examples of Descending Inhibition?   1. Placebo effect; 2. Combat Anesthesia  
🗑
Where is the Enkephalin neuron located?   between the descending fiber and C-fiber Inhibitory site  
🗑
