Somatic Sensations Anterior and Posterior Views

Description
There are two types of pain: fast and slow. Fast pain (acute, sharp or pricking) perceived within 0.1 second.
Slow pain (chronic, burning, aching or throbbing) is perceived a second or more after the stimulus.
Superficial somatic pain: arising from skin receptors.

Deep somatic pain: skeletal muscles, joints, tendons and fascia.
Stimulation of pain sensors in visceral organs is visceral pain. This type of pain usually presents in or just deep to the skin that overlies the stimulated organ.
