modulation
Allodynia [ANS:] Pain due to a stimulus that does not normally
© 2025 Assignment Expert
provoke pain
Hyperalgesia [ANS:] Increased pain from a stimulus that normally
provokes pain
Guru01 - Stuvia
Nocioceptive pain [ANS:] Pain that arises from actual or
threatened damage to non-neural tissue and is due to the
aciviation of .....
Neuropathic pain [ANS:] Pain created by a lesion or disease of the
somatosensory nervous system
Central Sensitization [ANS:] Increased responsiveness of
nocioceptive neurons in the CNS to their normal or subthreshold
afferent input.
Nocioceptor [ANS:] A primary afferent (sensory) neuron that is only
activated by a noxious stimulus
Nocioception [ANS:] The process by which a nocioceptor detects
a noxious stimulus and generates a signal (action potentials) that
is propagated towards higher centers in the nocioceptive
pathway

Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) [ANS:] Contains the cell bodies of
primary afferent neurons, proteins, including transmitters,
receptors, and structural proteins, are synthesized here and
transported to peripheral and central terminals.
Interneurons [ANS:] Neuron in the dorsal horn that receives input
from PANS and/ or interneurons, and projects up the spinal cord to
higher processing centers
Spinothalamic tract [ANS:] tract of neurons that project from the
spinal cord to the thalamus
© 2025 Assignment Expert
Spinobulbar tracts [ANS:] Several different tracts of neurons that
project from the spinal cord to brainstem nuclei
Guru01 - Stuvia
Somatosensory cortex [ANS:] Region of the cerebral cortex that
receives input mainly from cutaneous sensory nerves; the cortex is
topographically arranged, with adjacent areas receiving input
from adjacent body areas; stimulation of the somatosensory
cortex creates sensations from the body part that projects to it.
A-Beta fibers [ANS:] detect small movements, light touch
A-Delta fibers [ANS:] sense noxious mechanical stimuli and
subnoxious thermalstimuli
C-fibers [ANS:] bare nerve endings that are only activated by
noxious mechanical, thermal, or chemical stimuli
Describe Neuropathic Pain [ANS:] pain that arises from damage
to, or dysfunction of, any part of the peripheral or central nervous
system
Describe normal pain [ANS:] pain caused by activation of
nociceptive nerve fibers
