*Fun Fact 101*

Ever wonder why when you bang your knee, your first instinct is to rub it to feel better? That's because the "touch" sensation is stronger than the "pain" sensation. When sensing either, signals are sent to the spinal cord/brain which then tells you, what you are feeling. There's more touch signals and they are faster than those for pain. Imagine these signals running down a long hall to see who gets to the elevator first to travel up to the brain. The touch signals will flood that elevator first and essentially override that feeling of pain.
