Central Sensitization Central Sensitization is an increase in the excitability of neurons within the central nervous system starting at the spinal cord level. Normal inputs from everyday experiences such as touch are amplified to produce abnormally painful responses.Central Sensitization is a major cause of pain hypersensitivity.Central Sensitization plays a key role in the pathophysiology of a number of chronic pain conditions such as neuropathic pain.entral Sensitization can also be a consequence of dysfunctional pain processing such as fibromyalgia, where somehow normal neural inputs from mechanotransducers get diverted into the pain pathway. The underlying mechanisms of Central Sensitization are complex and not fully understood.

What is Hypersensitivity? You won't believe these 10 facts about people. Hypersensitivity is a term that is used to identify situations in which some type of substance or medication triggers an unusually strong and adverse reaction from the immune system.

Sensory processing sensitivity Origin and development of the terms[edit] In 1997 Elaine and Arthur Aron formally identified sensory processing sensitivity (SPS), the scientific term for highly sensitive or hypersensitivity, as the defining trait of highly sensitive persons (HSPs).

hypersensitivity A. Allergy is the exaggerated and out-of-place reaction of the immune system to external substances or stimuli that are not harmful to the body, so the reaction actually damages the body instead of helping it. The may be pollen and foods, as well as insect stings, drugs and almost any other substances.

Antigen Any substance that can stimulate an immune response in the body and can react with the products of that response, that is, with specific antibodies or specifically sensitized T lymphocytes, or both. Antigens include bacteria, foreign substance (e.g. dust mite, grass, pollen of trees), toxins and viruses.

STIMULUS GENERALIZATION Is the effect of conditioning which removes the discrimination between two stimuli and responsible for evoking the same response. If responding is not able to discriminate from that seen in the presence of the original stimulus, generalization is said to be finished.

reactivity responsiveness - responsive to stimulation. reactivity. sensitivity, sensitiveness, sensibility - (physiology) responsiveness to external stimuli; the faculty of sensation; sensitivity to pain. excitability, irritability - excessive sensitivity of an organ or body part.

Polarizer A polarizer or polariser is an optical filter that lets light of a specific polarization pass and blocks waves of other polarizations. It can convert a beam of light of undefined or mixed polarization into a beam of well-defined polarization, that is polarized light.

immunomodulator Etymology: L, immunis + modulus, little measure. a substance that alters the immune response by augmenting or reducing the ability of the immune system to produce antibodies or sensitized cells that recognize and react with the antigen that initiated their production.Immunomodulators include corticosteroids, cytotoxic agents, thymosin, and immunoglobulins.tymology: L, immunis + modulus, little measure. a substance that alters the immune response by augmenting or reducing the ability of the immune system to produce antibodies or sensitized cells that recognize and react with the antigen that initiated their production.

Polarizer Light polarized in the plane is said to be p-polarized, while that polarized perpendicular to it is s-polarized. At a special angle known as Brewster's angle, no p-polarized light is reflected from the surface, thus all reflected light must be s-polarized, with an electric field perpendicular to the plane of incidence. polarizer or polariser is an optical filter that passes light of a specific polarization and blocks waves of other polarizations.

- A sensitizer is defined by OSHA as a chemical that causes a substantial proportion of exposed people or animals to develop an allergic reaction in normal tissue after repeated exposure to the chemical.. The condition of being sensitized to a chemical is also called chemical hypersensitivity.

- Hypersensitivity. Hypersensitivity refers to undesirable reactions produced by the normal immune system, including allergies and autoimmunity. These reactions may be damaging, uncomfortable, or occasionally fatal. Hypersensitivity reactions require a pre-sensitized state of the host.ypersensitivity refers to undesirable reactions produced by the normal immune system, including allergies and autoimmunity. These reactions may be damaging, uncomfortable, or occasionally fatal.

Hypersensitivity Is Not Imagined Hypersensitivity — also known as being a highly sensitive person (HSP) — is not a disorder. In fact, it brings many benefits, such as being able to “read” the mood of a room quickly and factoring in subtle cues when making a decision.

LA Ch 19 Micro Bio https://session.masteringmicrobiology.com/myct/assignment?assignmentID=1412938 a reaction that occurs in a sensitized individual resulting in tissue damage rather than immunity. Sally didn't realize it, but the stings that she received prior to today were actually sensitizing events. Her body generated antibodies against wasp venom, including the antibodies that are going to be involved in mediating the hypersensitivity reaction.
