What is meant by noriceptive Pain example somatic and visceral?
Nociceptive means having to do with pain. So the phrase "nociceptive pain" is redundant. The body's nervous system has 2 kinds of nociceptive receptors--somatic and visceral. Visceral means having to do with the viscera, which are your hollow internal organs (such as the stomach and the intestines). Whereas somatic pain receptors are easily localized, visceral pain is difficult to pin down as to location. Thus, when you have pain on a particular finger, you know exactly which finger is hurting and where the pain is on the finger. But when you have something wrong with a part of your intestine, and it's the intestine on the right side of your abdomen, the pain is going to seem to be coming from the midline of your abdomen, not on the right side. An example is appendicitis, whose pain is typically felt in the midline until the inflammation reaches the abdominal wall (which is somatic), at which time the pain is felt on the right side of the abdomen.
What is the difference in parietal and visceral peritoneum?
The difference between these two pleura is that the parietal pleura is the outtermost covering of the lung which is adhered to the inner thoracic wall, while the visceral pleura is the lining which is directly adhered to the lung itself. The space between these two pleuras is know as the pleual cavity.
How many different kinds of pain are there?
There are three different kinds of pain and possibly a fourth that would be a combination of the others. The types are somatic, neuropathic, and visceral.
Innermost layer of the pleura is known as?
Visceral pleura
