16
Q

abnormal pressure of sensory input by nervous system bc of damage to brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves

tends to be chronic and intractable

A

neuropathic pain

17
Q

result of trauma/disease to peripheral nerve

A

peripheral pain

18
Q

cause by lesion or dysfunction in the spinal cord or brain

19
Q

nociceptic or neurogenic pain

persistent or intermittent

last 3-6months

related to tissue,inflammation or injury

result in: depression, difficulty sleeping, eating

20
Q

chronic progressing pain that is unrelenting and dibilitating

drugs dont help

common in severe injury ie crushing nerves

A

intractable pain

21
Q

distracting stimulus may negate pain

A

gate control theory

22
Q

active generation of subjective experiences through a network of neurons

A

neuromatrix theory

23
Q

inhibit transmission of pain and impulses in spinal and brain by binding to receptors

24
Q

sensory receptor stop generating impulse after extended use

25
maintains core body temp 97-100 mediate by hypothalamus, thermoreceptor, skin, spinal cord, abs
thermoregulation
26
heat production by chemical reaction of metabolism in liver, muscle tone and contraction amount affected by: food consumption, physical activity, hormone levels heat distribute by circulatory system
mechanism of heat production and loss
27
vasoconstriction: blood shunt from periphery to core chemical thermogenesis: release thyroxine and epinephrine to increase metabolism shiver
Heat conservation- INVOLUNTARY
28
more clothing, movement
heat conservation- VOLUNTARY
29
temporary resetting of hypothalamic thermostat to higher level - response to endo or exogenic pyroxen - decrease serumL iron,zinc, copper - lysosomal breakdown and autodestruction enhance phagocytosis
fever
30
not mediated by pyrogen, set point no reset causes: environment, genetic abnormality, injury to hypo, meds nerve damage, coagulate protein and death convulsions
hyperthermia
31
heat cramps, heat exhaustions, heat stroke, malignant hyperthermia
accidental hyperthermia
32
body temp falls below 93.2 depression of cns and respiratory vasoconstriction, increase blood viscosity and ischemic tissue damage, cell rupture and die
hypothermia
33
Risk: infants due to heat conservation -ineffective shiver, little Sub Q fat, large surface area to body mass
Risk populatijon
34
``` slow circulation skin functiojn decrease heat producing activity slow metabolism diminish sweating ```
