Chapter 6.2, Problem 2CYU

List several factors that can alter the perception ofpain and the response to pain.

Describe the similarities between pain and the other somatic sensations. Describe the differences.

explain why it is useful to have pain receptors?

Name any four encapsulated nerve endings and identify the stimulus modalities for which they are specialized?

a.) Describe the similarities between pain and the other somatic sensations. b.) Describe the differences between pain and the other somatic sensations.

Compare and contrast the functions of proprioceptors,cutaneous receptors, and pain receptors.

Compare referred and phantom pain

Which options are true regarding the gate control theory of pain? Select all that apply: a. Mechanoreceptor fibres synapse directly onto nociceptor fibres and potentiate incoming pain signals b. Mechanoreceptor fibres synapse onto interneurons, which synapse onto nociceptor fibres and potentiate incoming pain signals c. Applying a mechanical stimulus, such as grabbing the injured area, will soothe the injury d. Mechanoreceptor fibres synapse directly onto nociceptor fibres and inhibit incoming pain signals e. Mechanoreceptor fibres synapse onto interneurons, which synapse onto nociceptor fibres and inhibit incoming pain signals f. Applying a mechanical stimulus, such as grabbing the injured area, is a natural defensive reaction, but does little to actually affect incoming pain signals.
