Referred pain is the perception of pain at a site adjacent to, or distant from, the site of the actual painful stimulus. Visceral pain is a type of referred pain that is poorly localized and can be perceived to originate from a region of the body that is different from its actual location. Analgesia refers to the inability to feel pain. Adaptation refers to the ability of the body to adjust to a new stimulus. Tonic reception refers to the continuous response of a sensory receptor to a sustained stimulus. Latency refers to the delay between the onset of a stimulus and the response to that stimulus.
