true or false: afferent sensory fibers carry pain impulses from nociceptors to the brain : true the ______ is a region in the dorsal spinal cord where modulation of pain impulses occurs a. afferent sensory region b. S and L fiber complex c. Substantia gelatinosa d. Central transmission (T...

Blood, serum, saline, albumin, urine, bile, hormones, cerebrospinal fluid : Fluids required for homeostasis Peripheral pain receptor found in skin, : Nociceptor Hitting finger with hammer : Noxious stimuli Specialized sensory fibers, carry nociceptor impulse to spinal cord (A delta and C fib...

Alteration due to Renal Failure/Disorders Hematocrit : Decreased - Anemia Due to decreased synthesis of erythropoietin. Erythropoietin stimulates bone marrow to produce RBC. When nephrons fail, kidneys cannot produce erythropoietin. Hematocrit - the ratio of the volume of RBCs to the total vol...

neuroanatomy of pain and the components of pain : -Nociceptors → Afferent fibers → Spinal cord (substance P) → Brain for interpretation -Substance P = neurotransmitter peptide - has to bind to a receptor -Impulse MUST go to the brain AND be interpreted for the pain to be felt Nociceptors...

Immunity : Function of immune system is to protect body from invasion by foreign antigens to identify and destroy potentially harmful cells. Exaggerated immune response : -Against environmental antigens, allergy -Too much of an IR Misdirected IR against host's own cell : Autoimmunity Isoim...

Function of the immune system : 1) to protect the body from invasion by foreign antigens - foreign substances that trigger the immune response 2) to identify and destroy potentially harmful cells 3) to remove cellular debris What accomplishes the functions of the immune system? : lymphoid org...
