How do benzodiazepine help with anxiety? -CORRECT
ANSWER Benzodiazepine target GABA neurotransmission
via the PAM (positive allosteric modulation
Allodynia -CORRECT ANSWER Pain due to a stimulus that does
not normally provoke pain
,Hyperalgesia -CORRECT ANSWER Increased pain from a
stimulus that normally provokes pain
Nocioceptive pain -CORRECT ANSWER Pain that arises from
actual or threatened damage to non-neural tissue and is
due to the aciviation of .....
Neuropathic pain -CORRECT ANSWER Pain created by a lesion
or disease of the somatosensory nervous system
Central Sensitization -CORRECT ANSWER Increased
responsiveness of nocioceptive neurons in the CNS to
their normal or subthreshold afferent input.
Nocioceptor -CORRECT ANSWER A primary afferent (sensory)
neuron that is only activated by a noxious stimulus
,Nocioception -CORRECT ANSWER 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) -CORRECT ANSWER 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 -CORRECT ANSWER 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 -CORRECT ANSWER tract of neurons that
project from the spinal cord to the thalamus
, Spinobulbar tracts -CORRECT ANSWER Several different tracts
of neurons that project from the spinal cord to brainstem
nuclei
Somatosensory cortex -CORRECT ANSWER 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 -CORRECT ANSWER detect small movements,
light touch
A-Delta fibers -CORRECT ANSWER sense noxious mechanical
stimuli and subnoxious thermalstimuli
