Nah, did that the night before the MCAT.

In case IF CID is reading this ... I'M K.I.D.D.I.N.G!

I would have recommended it. I think you might have nailed the MCAT if this was a practice you followed.

I think pain is a physical phenomenon, the realization that pain exists is a mental phenomenon. If you want me to get biological on you ... nociceptors activate at the cite of the injury, impulses travel through afferent neurons to the spinal cord, and a reflex occurs. Nothing has been mentally detected yet, but pain exists. Then impulses travel to the brain where realization of pain occurs through the processing of the injury. Signals are sent to the limbic system which initiates an emotional response.

What I find more interesting is how our interpretation and response to the pain varies depending on our mood and past experiences.

Did I not tell you your left only the "M" at the testing center and brought te billi to the DM😆

MCAT = MBilli😆

is there any way you could go biological on that realization that made you realize that pain exists?

for instance, if i take a pain killer (a really powerful one) what happened to that realization?

Sure I can. Excuse this conversation, Sarina. 😆

Although the impulse at the spinal cord causes the reflex, the pain signal continues onto the brain. The pain signal goes to the thalamus, from which it is directed to various parts of the brain for interpretation. Different areas of the cortex answer questions like what caused the pain, the strength of the pain, and comparing it to past similar experiences. Signals are also sent to the limbic system, where emotions are initiated. Depending on what kinds of feelings are associated with the sensation, anger, tears, etc will generate. It generates a reaction to the pain - again depending on your mood, past experiences with similar injuries, etc. Along with that, the brain sends a message back to the cite of injury through efferent neurons. This message could be, for example, releasing endorphins etc that diminish the pain messages.

Prostaglandins is a chemical that carry the pain signals from the cite of injury to the nerve. Pain killers like Aspirin and Ibuprofen block prostaglandins, and our brain stops receiving the pain signals. So the body is fooled into thinking the pain no longer exists because the brain is not receiving the signal.

Stronger pain killers like morphine work a little differently by initiating the release of endorphins (the body's own "pain killers"). Endorphins trigger happiness and that is how people get "high". And that is also why people get addicted to these strong prescription drugs. Lots of drug abusers in California especially ... they are always looking for Vicodin in some shape or form!

I hope I am not providing you with any incorrect information.
