Pain (physiologically)

by Justina86 @ 2008-05-28 - 16:57:36

Pain has been classified into several types: prickling, burning, deep or referred pain. They are all characterised by the different perceptions of the person suffering. There is however one more type of pain, which frankly is quite unusual - it is the phantom pain. Is is chracterised by tactile and movement perceptions that remain after amputation of parts of the body! This really sounds quite interesting, doesn't it? Apparently, adults are more likely to experience such pain rather that children. Hmm...

Pain is an information to the individual to take necessary action to control the pain by knowing what is that and how it's coming and the true cause of pain.Nerve endings carry this to brain.If this system fails the individual is thought that has been paralised.
