Pain is one of a series of sensory systems in the human body, including the visual system (sight), the auditory system (hearing), the olfactory system (smell), the gustatory system (taste), and the somatosensory system (touch). While many consider pain to be a part of the somatosensory system/touch system, actually pain has its own dedicated pathways in the body and spinal cord, as well as its own unique areas in the brain.

We become hypervigilant, and start to pay extra attention to bodily sensations, especially painful ones.
