Therefore, pain on the diaphragmatic pleura is commonly referred back to the dermatomes supplied by C3,4,5 - the neck and external ear. |

Since theses fibers pass along the ventral ramus for a short distance before entering the spinal n. to access the spinal cord, the pain is mistakenly referred out along the ventral ramus in a proximal-distal fashion to the body dermatome. Pain from a myocardial infarction (heart attack) travels back through the ventral rami of T1 through T4. The dermatomes for these nn. extend out along the medial aspect of the left upper limb.

| A negative feedback system is designed so that a build-up of the product that is being produced as a result of hormonal regulation leads to the inhibition of its release, usually through another hormonal or chemical signal. In other words, the feedback negatively regulates or reduces the output of the system. (i.e. calcitonin is released by the thyroid gland to reduce free Ca2+ levels in the blood; once these levels are returned to normal, calcitonin is no longer released). |

| CSF is secreted by the choroid plexus in each lateral ventricle. CSF flow through inter-ventricular foramine into third ventricle. Choroid plexus in third ventricle adds more CSF. CSF flows down cerebral aqueduct to fourth ventricle. Choroid plexus in fourth ventricle adds more CSF. CSF flow out two lateral apertures and one median aperture. CSF fills subarchnoid space and bathes external surfaces of brain and spinal cord. At arachnoid villi, CSF is resorbed into venous blood of dural venous sinuses |
