Hello, Smarty Pants. Welcome to Trusty Tray, a Thursday.
Today, we're feeling our way through the topic of pain.
Before we begin, a soothing shout out to Samuel in Los Angeles, California.
We hear you love Who Smarted because it gives you a lot of information in funny ways.
You know what, Samuel? That is the perfect way to describe our show.
You get us and we're happy to keep making you laugh and learn.
And now, let's take a not so painful look at some questions about pain.
First question. What's the name of the cells that detect pain in our body?
Is it A, Taste Buds, B, Neurons, or C, No Sceptors?
Going with C, that's absolutely correct.
No Sceptors are the sensory neurons that respond to potentially damaging stimuli by sending pain signals.
Next question. What's the term for the inability to feel pain?
Is it A, Analgesia, B, Congenital Incentivity to Pain, or C, Anesthesia?
Did you pick B? Spot on. Congenital Incentivity to Pain is a rare condition where a person cannot feel physical pain.
Last question. Which of these is not a common type of pain?
A, Acute, B, Chronic, or C, Telepathic?
Did you pick C? That's exactly right.
Acute and chronic are real types of pain, but telepathic pain is not a thing.
Painless Performance Smarty Pants, you've shown a high tolerance for pain knowledge.
Be sure to join us next Thursday for more stimulating facts and fun.
Oh, want to learn more about how our bodies work?

Thanks for playing Smarty Pants.
Keep your curiosity sharp and your knowledge as soothing as ice pack on a bruise.
Hola, bonjour. Hello, Ni Hao.
Ciao. Hey Smarty fans, I'm learning to say hello in lots of different languages.
Of course, learning a new language is hard and expensive and requires lots of books, private tutors, and courses.
Right? Wrong. All you need is this sound.

And Babel's quick 10-minute lessons will have you speaking a new language in as little as three weeks.
