Referred pain. It occurs when a problem in one part of the body is felt in another part that is not the actual source of the pain.


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.
