Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nociception represents the neural processes of encoding and processing noxious stimuli necessary, but not sufficient, for pain.Transduction refers to mechanical (e.g., surgical incision), thermal (e.g., burn), or chemical (e.g., toxic substance)stimuli that damage tissues.As a result of transduction, an action potential is produced and is transmitted by nociceptive nerve fibers in the spinal cord that reach higher centers of the brain.This is called transmission, and it represents the second process of nociception.Pain sensation transmitted by the NS pathway reaches the thalamus, and the pain sensation transmitted by the PS pathway reaches brainstem, hypothalamus, and thalamus.These parts of the CNS contribute to the initial perception of pain.
