There are receptors in the dermal part of the skin that sends various types of information to the brain; hot, cold, light touch, pressure (deep touch) and pain.

Why does it pain if you get hurt?
Basically, when you get hurt, its painful or it caused a break, cut or bruise in your skin/body, and it sends a message to your brain that it is bad for you or hurts you. Hope this helped!
What nerve of the skin bring message to the brain?

Why does the human body feels pain?
Because of the Nervous system, it detects something hurting or touching the skin and sends a message to the brain through synapse, which is the message carried through nerve cells/spinal cord to the brain which then sends out a response or reflex of pain or feeling causing your body to pull back, cry out, or notice the shape/form of something. I hope that's how it works... :D
What part of the body sends a message to the brain?
Your nervous system sends messages from the body to the brain. Different kinds of Neurons are used to send each message, to allow your brain to know what is going on in your environment. The things that cause a reaction are called Stimuli. Messages are sent along nerve cells, or Neurons. For instance, if you prick your finger on a pin, a sensor in your skin called a Receptor sends a message of pain through a Sensory Neuron, to a Relay neuron in your Central Nervous System (which is your brain and spinal cord). The message is then sent through the CNS, to the brain, so your brain can decide how to react to the pain. The message is THEN sent through a motor neuron, which causes your muscles to move to react to the message. (Something that reacts to a message from a neuron is called an Effector- because it causes an effect.) In this case, the message from the motor neuron to the effector- your muscle- would make you pull your hand back, to get it away from the pin. In short: A change in your environment, like pain, is picked up by a Receptor. The message picked up by the Receptor is sent through a Sensory Neuron. The message is then sent through the Central Nervous System by Relay Neuron. Once the brain has decided what to do, it sends a message to the Motor Neuron. The Motor Neuron triggers an Effector (a muscle, or some chemical secretion) to react to the change. It may not be completely correct, but I'm 90% sure that's at least a rough, simple version.
How does skin sense the pain in animals?
The nerve endings in the skin carry that message to the brain straight from the wounded area.
Does the brain pick up messages from the outside world?
Indirectly, yes. The skin passes feelings of soft, hard, cold, or hot to the brain. The eyes send images. The nose sends smells, and the mouth sends flavors. The ears send sounds and balance. These are all processed in the brain.
What makes a skin cell different from a nerve cell?
A skin cell is different than a nerve cell because they do different jobs. A skin cell protects the body, regulates body temperature, and helps protect from germs trying to get into the body. The nerve cell sends out a message when your brain want to move a part of the body.Hope this helps.
How does the skin send information to brain?
Skin sends information (such as texture of a surface or pain) to the brain via nervous tissue. These are micro sized (thinner than hair) "wires" inside the body that connect all organs to the CNS (central nervous system) located in the spine. The CNS then relays this info to the brain up the spine. Additional info: the palm, fingers and feet have more nervous nodes, hence we are able to feel more with our hands and feet.
What other method are used to maintain body temperature?
Your body homeostatically adjusts your body temperature. The brain has a internal thermostat that is set to its ideal temperature. When the body is hot, nerve receptors in the skin pick up the message and send it to the brain. The brain in turn causes the release of hormones that causes a slightly saline fluid in the form of sweat to appear on the skin surface. As the sweat evaporates, it has a cooling effect on the body. If the body is cold, the skin picks up the message and sends it to the brain. The brain then sends a signal to the little hairs on the surface of the skin to stand up. The hair standing up on the skin traps air and keeps warm air near the body. Another way the body maintains body temperature when cold is to cause shivers. Involuntary muscle contractions or shivers cause heat by the effect of metabolic and muscular activity. When a person is sick and has a fever, the thermostat is rewired to a new temperature to help fight off the infection but many times fever reducers such as Tylenol or Motrin help bring the temperature down by blocking receptors that change the body's temperature.
Sensations from the skin are converted to perceptions in which part of the brain?
its the postcentral gyrus
What part of the brain does scarlet fever affect?
no its effect on throat and skin
WHAT LIFE STYLES WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE LIFE OF SKIN?
The life styles that would be is that it helps the body from geting hurt and sends messages to the brain to be alert
