Sensitivity

Which Body Part is Least Sensitive to Pain?

Mechanism of Pain

While it may seem like we feel pain in our body parts, pain actually is felt in the somatosensory cortex of the brain. When pain receptors in our body receive the signal that something is wrong, neurons carry the message up to our brain, where the pain is felt. The neurons from each body part communicate with their own specific section of the brain. Neurologists can map out these sections on the somatosensory cortex, and it turns out that the body parts communicating with a larger slice of the cortex are more able to feel sensation and pain. For instance, the fingertips have a high nerve density; these nerves travel up to the brain to a large area of the cortex. This large area is proportional not to the size of the body part but to the density of sensory nerves.

The Most Sensitive

The body parts most sensitive to pain are the lips, face, hands and fingers, feet and toes, and tongue.

The Least Sensitive

The back is the least sensitive part of the body. To test it out, have a friend place one, two or three fingers on the palm of your hand. Without looking, try to guess how many fingers are pressing into your hand; it should be easy to guess correctly. Now have your friend place fingers against the middle of your back, and then try to guess how many fingers he's using. You'll notice it's much more difficult. This is because the back has only a tiny section of the somatosensory cortex dedicated to its sensations.

Getting Patient Details

Administrative Staff: Hello, how can I help you?
Patient: I've got an appointment with Dr. Adams.

Administrative Staff: Are you Ms Moyers? 
Patient: Yes, I am. I have an appointment at ten.

Administrative Staff: We just need to fill in some information for our files. Could you fill out these forms? 
Patient: Certainly ... (comes back after filling out the forms) What's this form for?

Administrative Staff: It's just a privacy form informing you of our policies.
Patient: Is that really necessary?

Administrative Staff: I'm afraid it is. Could you also sign that form? 
Patient: OK, there you go. Here's my insurance provider's card.

Administrative Staff: Thank you. OK, that'll be $20.
Patient: Why do I have to pay $20?

Administrative Staff: It's the deductible for office visits required by your health care provider.
Patient: ... but I'm insured aren't I?

Administrative Staff: Yes, of course. Your health care provider asks for deductibles on office visits.
Patient: Every time I turn around I've got some additional fee to pay. I don't know why I pay for insurance!

Administrative Staff: I know it's frustrating. We also have a lot of paperwork. Every provider has different forms and requirements!
Patient: This can't continue on like this!

Administrative Staff: I agree with that!
