Q

Process of pain transmission (steps 1-4)

A

1 nociceptive action potential ( C and A fibres) reaches presynaptic dorsal horn

2 C and A fibres release pro nociceptive (excitatory NT) into synaptic cleft

3 C fibres release GLUTAMATE activating post-synaptic AMPA receptors

4 causing SP then NK1 receptor activation / CGRP pathways
