Why can't we feel internal organs?
You don't even notice you have internal organs because you can't feel them. Such as your liver, small/large intestine, heart (when its beating normally), bladder (when it's not full). I'm just curious why we can barely feel our inside. We can really feel only skin, muscles, etc. Is this due to lack of nerve endings or what?

We feel 'em when they want us to feel 'em. But doesn't mean we want to feel 'em when we do feel 'em because when we do feel 'em it's either because they're hurt or because they need you to do somethin'
-
Maybe because we've adapted to the feeling since we've been carrying them our whole lives. My science teacher said something like that.

Not alot nerve endings bones do not have nerve endings so we don't feel them at all [Edited on 02.16.2012 1:46 PM PST]

I haven't gotten to that part in anatomy yet, but the organs have nerves connected to them for control.
-
I can feel my intestines, diaphragm, lungs, heart, and the bones in my arms and hands all the time. Well, I can feel pain in each of them. There,s no reason to feel any internal organ unless something is wrong with them. Hell, even pain feels different in your internal organs than it does on your skin. Apparently the nerves are situated differently, and have a different set of synapses and transmitters so our brain doesn't have to constantly decode the extra info from them {citation needed].

If not, then we may all be just too used to them.[/quote] It's true, if you can get used to an arrows being stuck in your side, the second theory may be correct. And we do have nerves there, otherwise our brain wouldn't be able to send commands to those areas.

I feel so weird now.

Because we know they are there 24/7 and get used to the feeling so it just gets ignored. Its like breating until you take notice you don't feel or hear yourself breathing or blinking. If the smallest things your body did was unfamiliar for you then you would have tons of feelings through out your body, and it would be so much that you would probably not feel anyting else.

Disregard. [Edited on 02.16.2012 1:33 PM PST]

We do, I think we're just so used to it that we don't "notice" the sensations.

That's exactly it. We can't feel them, because nothing is telling our brains what they feel like.
-
How do you know how you normally feel 24/7 isn't exactly that feeling?

Here, let me stab you in the abdominal region.

I'd say a lack of nerves. If not, then we may all be just too used to them.
-
Well would you prefer to feel every organ touching every other organ?
-
Yeah, I suppose.

stomach ache ?
