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.
Does laughing gas prevent pain?
Yes While the above answer appears to be true, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) does not actually block the pain felt by the ensuing operation. Nitrous oxide, in fact, simply sends a message to the brain, making it, in "scientific" terms, go to "la la" land. Hence, the brain does not process the pain as much as if nitrous oxide was not in use.
What is the advantage of the brain being insensitive to pain?
The brain does not feel pain because there are no pain receptors in the brain. The skin and bones around the brain can feel pain, however, which is why we can still get headaches. Actually i went to a exhibit at the museum of nature & science & asked if the brain felt pain, he then awnsered "Well in some parts of the brain you wont feel any pain but in other parts of the brain you will feel pain".
When I am doing a handstand into a somersault the left side of my back hurts which goes to your leg what is wrong?
The most likely cause is a lower back disc problem (usually the disc between L4 and L5, or the disc between L5 and S1 ... L stands for lumbar vertebra, and S stands for sacral vertebra). The disc presses on the nerve root outlet, and this causes pain to go down the leg. If the disc presses the left nerve root outlet from the spine, then the pain will be felt in the left leg. If the disc presses the right nerve outlet from the spine, the the pain will be felt in the right leg. Accurate diagnosis involves a CT scan or MRI (but you may not even need one, if the pain doesn't occur in your normal everyday life). The best treatment is to avoid the movements which cause pain, and to do back exercises provided by your physician. Only in extreme cases is surgery helpful (which shouldn't be needed in your case, because the pain only occurs in particular postions). In any case, check with your doctor about what do next, in your particular case.
