Question 1 5 out of 5 points
Which statement is true regarding the specificity theory of pain?
Selected 3.
Answer: Relates to the amount of pain to the amount of soft tissue
injury
Answers: 1. Focuses on attention to Pain
2. Focuses on previous experience to pain
3.
Relates to the amount of pain to the amount of soft tissue
injury
4. Is related to the emotions exhibited towards pain
Response The specificity theory of pain postulates that the intensity of pain
Feedback: is directly related to the amount of associated tissue injury. It
does not take into account previous experience, emotions, or
attention to pain.
Question 2 5 out of 5 points
What is the definition of perceptual dominance?
, Selected Pain at one location may mask pain at another location.
Answer:
Answers:
Duration of time or intensity before overt pain responses is
regulated.
Pain at one location may mask pain at another location.
Repeated exposure to pain.
The point at which pain is perceived.

area removed or distant from its point of origin. Chronic or
persistent pain is usually defined as lasting for more than 3–6
months and is pain lasting well beyond the expected normal
healing time. Peripheral neuropathic pain is caused by
peripheral nerve lesions and an increase in the sensitivity and
excitability of primary sensory neurons and cells in the dorsal
root ganglion (peripheral sensitization).
Question 4 5 out of 5 points
Which term describes the elevation of the body temperature without an
increase in the hypothalamic set point?
