Answer - A - Visceral pain is dull, poorly localized pain that originates in the walls of hallow organs. Many hollow organs cause visceral pain as they become distended inflamed, or ischemic. Pain that originates in a region other than where it is felt is known as referred pain. Many neural pathways from various organs pass through areas where the organ was formed during the embryonic stage.
