Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (b) Brain
Explanation
The brain itself has no pain receptors, so pricking or operating on it causes no pain.
This allows awake craniotomy, brain surgery done while the patient is conscious.
Skin, heart and eye are richly supplied with sensory nerve endings and do feel pain.
