What is referred pain and its anatomical basis?

Question

please tell me it is related to human anatomy.

Answer 1

Yes - it IS related to anatomy!

There's a really nice link to answer your question here - http://medicguide.blogspot.com/2008/08/w...

Basically, referred pain comes about because the neurons that sense pain in the visceral organs join up with the pain-sensing neurones from particular areas of the skin.  Since the body therefore doesn't know which of the two areas the pain originated from, it always defaults to thinking it's coming from the skin.

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

referred pain exists from a point other than the point of injury
