Trevor has an extreme amount of sharp, localized pain that originates in the walls of the body. What type of pain is this?
  1. Visceral pain
  2. Somatic pain
  3. Referred pain
  4. Inflamed pain
Explanation
Answer - B - Sharp, localized paint that originates in the walls of the body is somatic pain. It travels along definite neural routes determined by dermatomes or tissue blocks developed during the embryonic stage. Bacterial and chemical irritation can cause somatic pain as well. As the appendix ruptures, it sends its chemical contents into the abdominal cavity, causing irritation and localized pain.
