Why does it hurt when you cut yourself?, what is pain?

Question

Where dose pain come from?,

Answer 1

Pain is the nerves in tissue responding to a negative stimulus- damage, injury, illness, ect. Pain is what lets you know that something is going on that shouldn't be. After all, if humans didn't feel pain, and you put your hand on a hot stove, damange could be done to tissues before you even realized that something was wrong.

Answer 2

Pain is the response that your body produces to tell you that you are in potential danger. You feel pain from a cut when nerve endings have been exposed to the open air. Pain comes from a connection between the brain and the specific nerve endings that have been triggered. Strangly enough the brain cannot actually feel pain, that is why brain surgery is usually performed when the patient is awake and can respond to stimuli without being distracted by pain. Just so your possible next question gets answered, when you get a headache you are actually feeling pressure building in an area of the brain, but you feel pain because of nerve endings being triggered. Hope this answeres your question:)

Answer 3

It hurts because you are breaking the skin. The pain comes from signals being sent from your brain. Just like if you fall and get a scrape. Both cause pain.

Answer 4

When you could feel the pain, that mean your still living in this world. If you cut yourself and won't get hurt, oviously ur not living then.

Answer 5

The nerve endings in your skin. Without your nervous system you wouldn't be able to move, think or smell, feel, or do anything because your nerves deliver sensory, and motor functions to your brain.

Answer 6

Nerve endings being overstimulated.
