25
generated by nociceptors during inflammation, enhances the excitability of nerve cells in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord
(central sensitization).
26
increased pain intensity in response to the same noxious stimulus; e.g. moderate pressure causes severe pain?
hyperalgesia
27
are normally relatively insensitive to nox- ious mechanical and thermal stimuli?
Viscera
28
Aδ and C fiber afferents innervating vis- cera are completely insensitive in normal , However, in the presence of inflammatory mediators, these afferents become sensitive to mechanical stimuli
silent nociceptors
29
It is a potent vasodilator, degranulates mast cells, is a chemoattractant for leukocytes, and increases the production and release of inflammatory mediators
substance P, an 11-amino-acid peptide
30
spinal neurons are most often activated by inputs from the?
skin
31
spatial displacement of pain sensation from the site of the injury that produces it is known as?
referred pain.

pain that lasts a long time; pain that extends beyond the expected period do healing
Chronic
35
pathways for pain?
