Chapter 14: Problem 18

Pain perceived as coming from another location is known as a. intercepted pain. c. referred pain. b. phantom pain. d. parietal pain.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The short answer is: Referred pain (c).

Step by step solution

01

Understand the terms

Let's define each term given: a. Intercepted pain: This term does not exist in the context of pain perception. b. Phantom pain: This is a type of pain experienced in a part of the body that has been amputated or is no longer present. c. Referred pain: This is the pain perceived at a location different from the actual source of the pain. It occurs because nerve pathways and connections can become mixed, causing the brain to "misinterpret" the source of the pain. d. Parietal pain: This term does not exist in the context of pain perception. Usually, parietal refers to a part of the brain involved in sensory processing.
02

Match the correct term to the description

Now that we have defined the terms, we can see that the term which matches the description of "pain perceived as coming from another location" is "referred pain". Thus, the correct answer is: c. referred pain.
