Etiology of Pain
InflammationForeign chemicalBacterial contaminationStimulation of nerve endings.Irritation
Stretching, distention, bleeding
![Page 6: ppt icon A Cute Abdomen](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052619/55648653d8b42a361d8b4ef5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Visceral vs. SomaticVisceral pain
Caused by stimulation of autonomic nerve fibers that surround a hollow viscus
Cramping or gas typeGenerally diffuse drill
Somatic painProduced by Bacterial or chemical irritation
of autonomic nerveGuardingDon’t want to moveSuperficial
