Textbook Question
Chapter 24, Problem 9RAT
What is the cause of physical pain?
(a) Rapid damage response synthesis of chemicals in the body
(b) Nerve impulses
(c) A sensation only perceived in the brain
(d) Inflammation
(e) All of the above.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The correct option for the statement “What is the cause of physical pain?”
Answer to Problem 9RAT
The correct option for the statement “What is the cause of physical pain?” is option (e).
Explanation of Solution
The physical pain basically occurs due to the combined effect of all the mentioned effects occurring in the human body such as inflammation of certain organ or body part due to which nerve impulses reach out to the brain causing a sensation in the brain. Due to any injury, rapid damage response mechanism of the body start synthesizing chemicals to heal the injury which causes physical pain.
Thus, physical pain involves all the mentioned causes.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct option for the statement “What is the cause of physical pain?” is option (e).
