Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason behind the fact that the experience of pain is very common and problematic, which can be inferred from the drugstore overflowing with numerous over-the-counter (OTC) analgesics.
Introduction:
The sensory mechanism for the body is responsible for our sense of taste, smell, and touch. They also make us feel the pain and monitor it accordingly. The receptor receives the stimuli and converts it into another form, which can be felt by us. The central nervous system (CNS) receives the impulse from the affected nerves, which is experienced as sensations. These sensations are sometimes acute and sometimes strong, which are often painful.
