Pain Jeopardy Template

Anatomy 101	It's A Chemical Thing	It Does Exist!	Getting From Here to To There	Things That Make You Go
100 Dorsal Horn In the processing of pain, primary afferent neurons synapse in	100 Calcium Activation of the NMDA receptor results in an influx of this ion	100 Nociceptors These are free nerve endings which help transduce painful stimuli into impulses	100 C fibers Unmyelinated fibers which carry pain signals	100 Pain An unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage
200 Lamina of Rexed The gray matter of the spinal cord is divided into 10	200 Alogens This group of pain producing substances can activate nociceptors	200 Brain Unlike it's meningeal coverings, this organ does not contain nociceptors	200 Alpha-delta fibers Sharp, well-localized pain is mediated via	200 Supraspinal level Modulation of pain can occur peripherally, at the spinal cord level and
300 Contralateral thalamus Second order neurons project from the dorsal horn to this structure where they synapse with third order neurons	300 Substantia gelatinosa The primary site of action for opiates in the spinal cord	300 Cerebral cortex This portion of the brain is the site of perception and discrete localization of pain	300 Silent nociceptors These receptors are only activated in the presence of inflammation	300 Gate theory Activation of large afferent fibers inhibiting WDR neurons and spinothalamic tract activity supports this theory of pain processing
400 Spinothalamic tract Pain impulses are sent from the spinal cord to the brain via the	400 Alpha 2 In the monoamine inhibitory pathway, NE acts on these receptors to mediate an anti-nociceptive effect	400 Windup In this phenomena, repeated stimuli of the same intensity result in exponentially increasing firing rates	400 Attention Perception of pain involves two main components: cognition and this, which is the basis behind hypnosis and biofeedback	400 Anterior horn Some primary afferents do not synapse in the dorsal horn, but in this region to mediate withdrawal reflexes
500 Periaquaductal gray matter The reticular formation, nucleus raphe magnus and this structure are involved in the process of supraspinal inhibition of pain	500 Substance P In the opiate descending inhibitory pathway, hyperpolarization of the alpha-delta and c fibers inhibits the release of	500 Referred The convergence of visceral and somatic afferent input in laminas I and V result in this type of pain	500 Wide dynamic range These second order neurons carry signals for both noxious and non-noxious stimuli and are involved in spinal windup	500 Receptor field expansion Process in the dorsal horn where previously unresponsive neurons become responsive to both noxious and non-noxious stimuli
