Figure 31-9 Examples of response surfaces for a modest stimulus on the left (withdrawal to electrical tetanus) and a profound stimulus on the right (movement response to intubation), based on the model shown in Figure 31-6 with differing intensity of the afferent painful signal. The figure on the left shows a relatively mild stimulus-response combination, whereas the figure on the right shows a profoundly noxious stimulus-response combination.
