Activity of neurons in the spinothalamic pathway may still send signals even if the first order sensory receptor does not receive a signal such as in amputation. This situation might cause O referred pain. O phantom limb pain. O paresthesia. O pain adaptation. O anesthesia.

The sensation of pain can be a result of: A. tissue damage only. B. chemicals only. C. different types of stimuli. D. extreme temperature only. 2. A person has damage in the first-order neuron in the right side of the fasciculus gracilis. This person would have problems with: A. temperature sensation of the left leg. B. temperature sensation of the right leg. C. touch sensation of the left leg. D. touch sensation of the right leg. 3. Sensory receptors that respond to body temperature that is below normal respond to a drop in temperature by _______ frequency to send a stronger message. A. decreased. B. increased. 4. When proprioception is being transferred both to the primary somatosensory cortex and the cerebellum, it uses _____________ pathway and it is an example of ___________ circuit. A. different, divergent. B. same, divergent. C. different, convergent. D. same, convergent. 5. The sense of proprioception is transferred in 2 pathways: ________ pathway that results in conscious perception and ___________ pathway that results in subconscious perception. A. proprioception only ascends on one pathway. B. posterior column; spinocerebellar. C. spinocerebellar; posterior column. D. spinothalamic; spinocerebellar. 6. The gate-control theory of pain modulation states that: A. non-painful mechanical signals can inhibit/decrease signals of pain on the 2nd order neuron. B. non-painful mechanical signals can inhibit/decrease signals of pain on the 3rd order neuron. C. pain sensation is modified on the level of the sensory receptors. D. 1st order neurons can act to modify their own pain signal.

QUESTION 22 Which of the following term and description is mismatched? A. Adaptation - decreased sensitivity to continued stimulus B. Visceroreceptors - associated with organs C. Proprioceptors - information about body position D. Cutaneous receptors - associated with viscera. E. Projection-sensation is perceived at the site of the stimulus. QUESTION 23 Amputees frequently perceive pain in the amputated structure. This type of pain is called A. ghost. B. chronic. C. gate. D. referred E. phantom.

The cranial nerves of the peripheral nervous system carry information about pain and temperature from the true skin. Which of the following carries the information about the modality of the somatosensory pathway? Pyramidal tracts, the decussation of the thalamus, contralateral gamma neurons, the term "allodynia" refers to the innervation by the wrong peripheral nerve, and central and extralucan (bospord) actively respond as long as the stimulus adopting receptors respond rapidly. None of the above is true.
