title: [Pain and stress: biological protection].
abstract: The biological methods of animal organism protection, the role of stress and the nociceptive signals, the hierarchy of defence mechanism--from the autonomic reflexes, neuroendocrine regulations, emotional reactions and expressions up to peculiar to the human being intellectual safeguard have been considered. The latest data on the role of tachykinins in transmission have been examined. The discovery of mediator function of "substance P" (SP), other related peptides, which coexists and realizes from the primary afferents and other terminals of SP-containing, capsaicin-sensitive neurons--opened a new chapter in the neurobiology and medicine. The necessity to support the medico-biological (fundamental) experiments by the modern society is grounded.
