    Pain

    I have watched a dog die of cancer. The dog showed know signs of pain yet knew it was dying. It would spend it's remaining days hiding underneath things and staying as far away from everyone as possible until it died. If pain is the only way that it would realize it was hurt then how did it...

    Pain

    Your brain is the central processing unit of your body (CNS to you biologists), please explain to me how any stimuli would go unnoticed (even to the unconciousness). I think this is getting a little off track, I didn't ask what pain was, I don't care what it is or its function , what I was...

    Pain

    Okay, much has been said in my absence, now its time to do some housekeeping. First, pressure is not pain, they are two seperate nervous impulses (they seem related because they usually occur together). Two,exhaustion is what tells your body to slow down (again, usually accompanied with pain...

    Pain

    not really, you would feel pressure (Pascinian corpuscles and all). But the brain is still alerted to the situation. There are many instances where the body is moved from the problem faster than the pain sensation can travel its course (hit your finger with a hammer for instance).

    Pain

    not quite. what I'm wondering is... what is the point of something that seems so redundant as the pain sensation.

    Pain

    why does the brain need to "tell" any other part of you anything at all. Does the rest of us (minus the brain) have any choice in the matter. If my brain send out a nervous impulse to my body, my body reacts, period. What I'm trying to say is that the body is "slaved" to the mind and does what...

    Pain

    I mean "tell yourself" (a figurative phrase) as in you sense the incident and then send out a signal that causes you to become more(?) aware of the incident despite the fact that the incident has already been detected and reacted to.

    Pain

    but you know your hurt so why tell yourself what you already know?

    Pain

    Here's an interesting thought...maybe. When we are hurt (I'm mainly sticking with the physical here), we feel pain, we react to the pain (in the general sense) and then we remember that pain and what it means but why do we go to such lengths. If we get hurt and know we are hurt why do we have to...

    Ahh..such warmth. I feel welcome and will thus venture a comment or two on any topics I feel merit my thought. Hell, I may even start a thread! Let the future weave its bright tapestry...

    I am fat. But invincible to your barbs. Jabby!

    Would you take a bullet for the political leader of your country?

    I would take the bullet, not die (i'm invincible), and sue the government for unsafe working conditions. Spend all my earnings on cigs and die of cancer.

    :jiggy: :jiggy: :jiggy: :jiggy: I dislike emoticons. But i'll live. If i have to. I guess. But anyways, first time threader long time observer. Always afraid to state my opinion, for fear i lack a viable one. Too much of a fence-sitter, and oft without passion. hmmm...i'm undecided as to what...
