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 : pain receptors Afferent fibers : -A-delta (for sharp pain) -C-fibers (for dull/achy pain) Spinal cord : -dorsal horn, substantia gelatinosa 2 Substance P : key neurotransmitter Impulse :...
