In which process do peripheral nerves carry the pain message to the dorsal horn of the spinal cord?

A) Transduction
B) Transmission
C) Perception
D) Modulation

Peripheral Nerves

Nerves located outside of the brain and spinal cord, responsible for relaying information between the body and the central nervous system.

Dorsal Horn

A region of the spinal cord's gray matter that processes sensory information, receiving inputs from receptors in the body concerning touch, pain, and temperature.

Transmission

The process by which something is conveyed or carried from one person or place to another, especially in the context of diseases or information.

  • Gain insight into the operations involved in the conveyance and awareness of pain sensations.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Peripheral nerves carry the pain message to the dorsal horn of the spinal cord during a process known as transmission.In a process called transduction,specialized nociceptors convert potentially damaging mechanical,thermal,and chemical stimuli into electrical activity that leads to the experience of pain.Perception involves the recognition of pain by the frontal cortex of the brain.During modulation,pain signals can be facilitated or inhibited,and the perception of pain can be changed.
