True or False
The pars oralis, one portion of the primary sensory nucleus of the trigeminal nerve, as well as the pars interpolaris are responsible for transmission of discriminative tactile sense from the face.
(a)
The ____ _____ is responsible for the transmission of pain and temperature from the ipsilateral face
(a)
- It is where specific pain receptors are stimulated.
- It is a type of pain caused by damage to body tissue
- It feels sharp, aching, or throbbing pain caused by external injury
- This happens when these receptors sense temperature (hot/cold), vibration, stretch, and chemicals released from damaged cells.
(a)
It comes from within the nervous system itself.
People often refer to it as pinched nerve, or - trapped nerve.
The pain can originate from the nerves between the tissues and the spinal cord (peripheral nervous system) and the nerves between the spinal cord and the brain (central nervous system, or CNS).
(a)
It is a tooth ache that is perceived to originate in a previously extracted or endodontically treated tooth.
It is also considered as a pain disorder of persistent toothache, in the teeth that have been denervated (usually by root canal treatment) or pain in the area formerly occupied by teeth prior to their extraction
(a)
is an abnormal sensation described as painful, itchy, and burning. It is a result from nerve damage
(a)
Tooth pulp is amply supplied with arterioles, venules and lymph vessels.
(a)
Arterioles
0.3-1 ml/sec
0.08 ml/sec
0.15 ml/sec
Capillaries
0.3-1 ml/sec
0.08 ml/sec
0.15 ml/sec
Venules
0.3-1 ml/sec
0.08 ml/sec
0.15 ml/sec
Proposes that transduction is mediated by free nerve endings within the dentinal tubules, i.e., pain is generated from free nerve endings in the same way that it is in other parts of the body.
(a)
- also called "transduction theory"
- This suggests that the stimulus is transduced by the odontoblastic processes in the dentinal tubules and is transferred to the nerve endings within the dentin-pulp complex.
- Odontoblast acts as receptors and are coupled to nerves
(a)
- stimulation of the dentin causes the fluid in the dentinal tubules to move. The fluid movement excites mechanosensitive receptors on the nerve endings in the subodontoplastic plexus.
(a)
