4. helps with healing. nn nn




SOLUTION: 1 n n



Pain is a protective system that includes protection from unsafe behaviors by use of reflexes,

memory, and avoidance. Even though the automatic withdrawal reflex is a part of the pain

response, it does not explain why pain is important. Pain does not create sensitivity to pain. Pain
