Some studies have shown that neurotransmitters called endorphins are founds in higher concentrations in the bodies of persons who are exposed to pain, such as women during childbirth, and in long-distance runners. The endorphins appear to block pain. Explain how this does not contradict the previous statement that pain adapts slowly, if at all.
