question
| Describe the origin and distribution of proximal-distal referred pain and give an example of it. |
answer
| The injury is proximal to the CNS but the pain is felt along the ventral ramus of the spinal nerve distal from that site. Herniated disc: the spinal nerve is pinched where it exits the intervertebral foramen by the herniated disc but the pain is felt along the entire dermatome. |
Unlock the answer
question
| describe the origin and distribution of somatic (embryological) referred pain and give an example of it. |
answer
| Pain is felt referred out along body dermatomes distant from the site of pain stimulus due to the migration of the structure during embryological development. Pain from the diaphragm being referred to skin over the ear. The diaphragm was a cervical structure initially (innervated by C3,4,5) but descended to the location between the thorax and abdomen. Therefore, pain on the diaphragmatic pleura is commonly referred back to the dermatomes supplied by C3,4,5 - the neck and external ear. |
Unlock the answer
question
| Describe the origin and distribution of visceral/somatic referred pain via the sensory afferents and give an example of it. |
answer
| The visceral afferent (sensory) fibers come back through the splanchnic nn. and pass into the ventral ramus of the spinal nn. via the white rami communicans. Since theses fibers pass along the ventral ramus for a short distance before entering the spinal n. to access the spinal cord, the pain is mistakenly referred out along the ventral ramus in a proximal-distal fashion to the body dermatome. Pain from a myocardial infarction (heart attack) travels back through the ventral rami of T1 through T4. The dermatomes for these nn. extend out along the medial aspect of the left upper limb. The left side is affected as the heart is a structure found to the left of the body midline. |

question
| describe the principle of a negative feedback system that is commonly used in the endocrine system. |
answer
| A negative feedback system is designed so that a build-up of the product that is being produced as a result of hormonal regulation leads to the inhibition of its release, usually through another hormonal or chemical signal. In other words, the feedback negatively regulates or reduces the output of the system. (i.e. calcitonin is released by the thyroid gland to reduce free Ca2+ levels in the blood; once these levels are returned to normal, calcitonin is no longer released). |

question
| What hormone is secreted by the parathyroid gland and what is its function. |

answer
| The spinal cord periphery is composed of white matter and is divided into funiculi. These funiculi (anterior, posterior, lateral) contain vertical columns of fibers called ascending or descending tracts. The columns within the posterior (dorsal) funiculi are composed of all ascending tracts, these include: 1. fasciculus gracilis 2. fasciculus cuneatus 3. dorsal (posterior) funiculus |
