13. How do we feel pain? Pain results from a series of exchanges among three major components of your nervous system: Your peripheral nerves:These nerves extend from your spinal cord to your skin, muscles, bones, joints and internal organs. 7/18/2009

14. Your spinal cord: The nerve fibers that transmit pain messages — such as the throbbing pain from that stubbed toe — enter the spinal cord in an area called the dorsal horn. There, they release chemicals (neurotransmitters) that activate other nerve cells in the spinal cord, which process the information and then transmit it up to the brain. 7/18/2009

15. Your brain: When news of your stubbed toe travels up the spinal cord, it arrives at the thalamus — a sorting and switching station deep inside your brain. The thalamus forwards the message simultaneously to three specialized regions of the brain: the physical sensation region that identifies and localizes the pain (somatosensory cortex), the emotional feeling region that experiences suffering (limbic system), and the thinking region that assigns meaning to the pain (frontal cortex). Your brain can respond to pain by sending messages to the spinal cord that modulate the incoming pain signals. 7/18/2009

16. How do we deal with pain? Analgesics: The absence of pain or sensation. 7/18/2009

17. How does analgesics work? Analgesics is a pain relieving medicine which works in a way that it relieves pain by blocking the pain signals going to the brain. Other than that it also relieves pain by interfering with the way the brain interprets the pain. This is how it affects the nervous system. 7/18/2009
