Why don’t we feel our insides?

67 viewsBiologyOther

This might be a rather odd example, but when I’m peeing, I can pinpoint the EXACT location I feel my pee actually leaving my tip, if that makes sense. How come I can’t feel my bladder, or the stream going through the tube, thanks.

I’ve had one of these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cystoscopy.

It was a topical anesthetic but I could feel the camera going in. It wasn’t the sensation of touch, but of pressure.

I’m guessing we have minimal to no sensory nerves for our insides, a consequence of possible evolutionary needs to focus on impulses from the outside environment compared to internal processes that are repetitive in nature.
