The cells in the nervous system that specialize in sensing stimuli are called sensory neurons. Neurons have long “wires” called axons. Sensory neurons that specialize in feeling pain, called nociceptors, have “wires” in the skin and tissues outside the central nervous system as well.
The painful stimulus activates the tip of these wires, which send impulses to the “center” of the cell – the cell bodies of the pain neuron. They are located close to the spinal cord (which passes inside the spinal column), in so-called dorsal root ganglia. The message continues to “travel” through the neurons, from the spinal cord to the brain. Once it reaches the brain, the impulse is interpreted as pain.
