How are our bodies able to differentiate between cuts, burns, punctures, bruises, scratches etc through pain and how do they heal differently?
In: Biology
Different types of pain -> different types of skin receptors (free nerve endings, nociceptor, pacinian,etc)
Healing is generally done the same regardless of injury. Inflammation brings oxygens, nutrients, and different cells, including white blood cells, to the injury that clean up and help regenerate the site. Cells also send signals to each other to prevent from overgrowing. Cells that ignore these signals lead to tumors (cancer).
