Nerves are usually viewed as simple conduits of electrical signals to make muscles move and enable sensation. However, recent data have shown that the axons within nerves are capable of responding to their environment. Nerves have a very specialized anatomy and physiology, and are capable of mediating certain types of pain. This synopsis introduces the reader to these concepts, which can be incorporated into clinical decision-making.
神经通常被视为电信号的简单传导通道,用于使肌肉运动并产生感觉。然而,最近的数据表明,神经内的轴突能够对其周围环境做出反应。神经具有非常特殊的解剖结构和生理功能,并且能够介导某些类型的疼痛。本综述向读者介绍这些概念,这些概念可纳入临床决策中。
