Transduction: occurs when a noxious stimulus in the form of traumatic or chemical injury‚ burn‚ incision‚ or tumor takes place in the skin‚ as well as somatic and visceral structures. Transmission: second phase the impulse moves from the level of the spinal cord to the brain. Perception: indicates the conscious awareness of a painful sensation. Modulation the pain message is inhibited. 2. What is the difference between nociceptive and neuropathic pain. What words will people describe nociceptive and

What is ALS? Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis‚ other name is Lou Gehrig’s Disease‚ is a neurodegenerative disease. It affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Nerves are involved in the process of thinking‚ memory‚ and of detecting sensations (such as hot/cold‚ sharp/dull)‚ and others for vision‚ hearing‚ and other bodily functions. Basically‚ motor neurons provide voluntary movements and muscle power. As motor neurons degenerate‚ they can no longer send impulses to the muscle fibers that

Central Nervous System are Bone‚ Meninges and Cerebral Spinal Fluid. 3. Cerebrospinal fluid comes from the blood and circulates throughout the CNS before returning to the blood capillaries. CFS is a clear‚ watery fluid containing a few cells and some glucose‚ protein‚ urea and salts. Occupies the space between the middle and inner layer of the meninges. It also circulates through cavities in both the brain and a canal in the center of the spinal chord. It has three functions: - Protection: CSF acts

science as a whole despite areas of Galvani’s views as being incorrect. Luigi Galvani himself began using electrical means to experiment with muscular stimulation and was able to cause muscular contraction in a frog by touching its nerves with electrostatically charged metal. He was then later able to cause muscular contraction by touching the frog’s spinal cord that was connected to an iron rail by a brass hook‚ where the legs twitched‚ without a source of electrostatic charge; from this‚ he developed

Most sensory information is routed towards the spinal cord and triggers involuntary reflexes such as withdrawal reflex e.g. removing the hand from a hot stove. We can

evidence that motor control exercise may be of benefit in the treatment of chronic low back pain patient populations. Motor control exercise is based on the idea that low back injuries cause inhibition of core stabilizing muscles‚ which will then atrophy over time (Hodges & Richardson‚ 1996; Richardson‚ Hodges‚ & Hides‚ 2007). Costa et al. (2009) found evidence supporting the that idea motor control exercise improves function and patient impression compared to a control group. The control group

The respiratory system is composed of the nasal cavity‚ nostril‚ oral cavity‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ trachea‚ carina of trachea‚ right main bronchus‚ right lung‚ left main bronchus‚ left lung‚ and diaphragm. These major organs collectively work together to give the body oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide as we breathe. In order for the respiratory system to be fully capable of function‚ four procedures (pulmonary ventilation‚ external respiration‚ transport of respiratory gases‚ internal respiration)
