Pain is described as a critical communication tool indicating potential body issues. It varies from person to person and is classified by factors like location, onset, duration, and cause. The process of pain involves nociceptors which signal the brain through the spinal cord.

The main difference between the somatic and autonomic systems ...The autonomic nervous system regulates organ systems through circuits that resemble the reflexes described in the somatic nervous system. The main difference between the somatic and autonomic systems is in what target tissues are effectors. Somatic responses are solely based on skeletal muscle contraction. The autonomic system, however, targets cardiac and smooth muscle, as well as glandular tissue.

The main signaling molecules of the ANS are acetylcholine, norepinephrine and epinephrine. The axons of the two divisions differ in the released neurotransmitters. Most organs are dually innervated and display autonomic tone. Autonomic reflexes are similar to somatic ones in their afferent branch but not efferent one. Autonomic reflexes can be long if they pass by the CNS or short if they don't.
