Pain is a complex phenomenon. You bump your knee and instantly all your focus goes straight to that location of your body. Between the hit and that thought, millions of cells responded in time so short that you can’t even calculate its speed. How did you actually get the message to know you were in pain? There are four body levels by which pain is transferred and potentially altered. Transduction occurs at the point of trauma, transmission happens between that point and the nerve signals getting to the spinal cord. At the spinal cord modulation or changing can occur and from there the perception of this pain is recorded at the brain. Next time I’ll tell about how this becomes more complex with time.
