visceral sensory neurons consist of a cell body in the

dorsal ganglion

visceral sensory cell body and fibers convey

stretch and ischemia to CNS

cardiac pain is conveyed by visceral sensory fibers that follow sympathetic pathway retrograde goes

travel alongside cardiopulmonary splanchnic nerve -> paravertebral of the sympathetic trunk - > white ramus communicans ->ventral ramus -> spinal nerve -> dorsal root to reach spinal

cardiac referred pain is a phenomenon whereby visceral pain is perceived as pain arising from....

superficial part of the body (dermatome) and may refer to different body regions (head, neck, upper extremity)

foregut pain typically refers to the area at and...

inferior location on the anterior abdominal wall

appendicitis pain first presents as...

diffuse periumbilical pain (referred to T10 dermatome) however as parietal peritoneum becomes inflamed the somatic sensory innervation of parietal peritoneum and localizes the pain to the right lower quadrant
