engagement in social activities, sexual intimacy, sleep
and rest, ability to exercise, and ability to perform
activities of daily living. These factors, in turn, can affect
the intensity of the patient's pain, as well as the patient's

- Transduction: Activation of nociceptors by stimuli Physiology of Pain (Power point)
- Transmission: Conduction of pain message to spinal
cord
- Pain perception: Recognizing and defining pain in
cortex
- Pain modulation: Changing pain perception
•Nociceptors become activated by the perception of Transduction:
mechanical, thermal, and chemical stimuli.

Mechanical stimuli are external forces that result in A form of Transduction:
pressure or friction against the body. They involve Mechanical stimuli
stretching of body tissues (e.g., bleeding and swelling)
and compression of tissues caused by the force of the
trauma. Other types of mechanical stimuli are surgical
incisions, friction or skin shearing (e.g., from sliding
down in bed), or pressure from a mechanical device
such as a cast or brace.
Thermal stimuli result from exposure to extreme heat or A form of Transduction:
cold. If you've ever touched a hot object or suffered an Thermal Stimuli
earache when outdoors on a cold day without a hat, you
have experienced pain from thermal stimuli.
Chemical stimuli can be internal or external. Lemon A form of Transduction:
juice or any acidic substance on an open area in the skin Chemical stimuli
causes sharp, sudden pain.
Transmission: Peripheral nerves carry the pain message Transmission
to the dorsal horn of the spinal cord in a process known
as transmission. Pain messages are conducted to the
spinal cord along either of two types of fibers:
