Referred pain occurs when impulses from an organ are perceived as originating from the skin.
Referred pain occurs when impulses from specific viscera are perceived as coming from the skin rather than the organ. Numerous cutaneous and visceral sensory neurons send nerve impulses up the spinal cord's ascending tracts.
The stimulus causes the sensory cell to generate an action potential, which is relayed to the central nervous system (CNS), where it is combined with other sensory information—or, in some cases, higher cognitive functions—to form a conscious perception of that stimulus. The skin contains numerous sensory receptors in the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis that allow for touch discrimination such as pressure differences (light vs. deep). Temperature, pain, and itch are examples of external world qualities assessed by skin sensory receptors.
