Why Does 1t Hurt When / Cut MY
Finger?

IT hurts when you cut your finger
or, rather where you cut it--because
the place you have cut Is exposed to
the oxygen in the air. and as soon as
it is so exposed a chemical action
begins to take place, Just as when YOU
cut an apple and lay it aside you
come back and find the cut surface
al turned brown. If the apple could
feel it would hurt also, because the
chemical action is much the same
The apple has a skin which pro
tects it's inside from the oxygen in the
air. and You have also skin which
protects you from the oxygen as long
So 1t is unhroken
What happens, of course, is this;
When YOU cut your finger. Won sever
MIC sinS !Httfe veins and nerves which
cre in your finger. They are spread
i@ll over your body like,a network un-
Ger the skin, close to the surfaree III
most places. TIE nerves when cut
send n quick message to the brain,
with which they are connected. tell
ing that they are damaged. and the
brain calls on the heart and other
functions to get busy and repair the
damage along the line. There NAV
be some hurt while this process OF
repairing is going on, hut the prin-
e;pai part of your hurt. outside OF
"hat we call your feelings, is due
to the fact that the inside of you il
thus exposed TO the chemical action,
OF the air Then I can hear you say
next:
Why Don't NV Hair Hurt When It Is
Being Cut?.
1t does not hurt to cut anything
that has no nerves There are no
nerves in the hair which the barber
cuts. II he pulls out hair 1t hurts,
because the root Of the hair has
nerves, which telegraph notice of
the damage to the brain When
dentist takes out or kills the nerve
in your tooth you cannot have any
more toothache In that tooth, because
there is no nerve there to send the
message to the brain. You can cut
your finger nails without feeling pain.
because they have no nerves at the
ends, but underneath where they
join the skin of the finger, there are
a great many nerves, and 1t hurts
very much to bruise the nails at that
lc cation.
