Case 4.02 Friday, 30/01/2026

by Melanie Carmody
1

the theory that afferent fibres from different body parts synapse with the same second order neurone (brain interprets the pain as coming from the more frequently-stimulated area)

     
  
  
2

the medical term for "referred pain"

3

the idea that referred pain typically follows a particular pattern, often appearing in structures derived from the same embryonic segment (dermatome, myotome, or sclerotome)

  
  
4

a common example of referred pain (we probably all experienced as children in the summer time)

  
  
5

referred pain is often characterised as...

                 
  
  
  
  
  
  
6

in clinical practice, the pattern that referred pain often moves from a distal location (e.g. the hand) to a more proximal location (e.g. the neck) as the underlying cause improves

7

due to the fact that the convergence of afferent neurons is rather complicated, it is more difficult to locate the exact boundaries of the affected area, when compared to...

           
  
  
  
  
8

an area of skin supplied by sensory fibres from a single spinal nerve root

9

sharp and well-localised pain arising from skin, muscles, joints, or parietal peritoneum

  
  
10

dull, poorly localised medial pain arising from internal organs

  
  
11

the anatomical overlap where visceral affeent fibres synapse on neurons that also receive somatic input

  
  
12

a functional unit of the spinal cord giving rise to a pair of spinal nerves (referred pain reflects that which receives visceral afferents)
