Week 7 Pain pathways and musculoskeletal anatomy crossword.
Across
- 1. This type of tissue joins bone to bone.
- 4. Neurotransmitter released by the descending inhibitory pathway that has an inhibitory effect on pain transmission at the dorsal horn.
- 6. Slow unmyelinated pain neuron that transmits burning type pain.
- 8. Fast myelinated pain fibre. Gives sensation of localised sharp pain.
- 9. A chemotactic factor released by inflamed tissue, the purpose of which is to recruit white cells to the local area.
- 11. This type of connective tissue connects muscle to bones.
- 13. Type of joint that has a synovial cavity.
- 15. The energy source responsible for powering the myosin heads in muscle resulting in muscle contraction.
- 16. This immune cell detects, engulfs (phagocytoses), and informs the adaptive immune response about an infection.
- 17. Best hospital pharmacist ever!
- 18. Neurotransmitter released from mast cells lowering pain threshold.
- 20. Synthetic opioid that mimics the effect of enkephalins at the Mu receptor.
- 21. The nervous system that innervates skeletal muscle.
Down
- 2. Pain pathway that transmits the pain sensation from the source to the central nervous system.
- 3. Pain pathway that descends to the dorsal horn area in the spinal cord to modify the afferent pain impulse
- 5. Cell that breaks down bone extracellular matrix increasing blood calcium levels.
- 6. Tissue that covers the articular (working) surfaces of synovial joints.
- 7. This small synovial-fluid-filled sack provides cushioning around joints and reduces friction between bone and ligaments.
- 9. Hormone released in response to low serum calcium levels stimulating calcium reabsorption via the kidneys and gut and release of calcium from bone.
- 10. Neurotransmitter that has an inhibitory action on pain transmission
- 12. Cell that forms bone extracellular matrix.
- 14. The receptor that interacts with acetylcholine resulting in muscle movement.
- 16. The neurotransmitter responsible for activating muscle movement.
- 19. Location at which the afferent pain signal crosses to the contralateral side of the spinal cord.
