100%, I believe. The entire nervous system is made up of nerves. And nerves, in general receive pain, pleasure, or both. Hope this helped a little.
The above is incorrect. Not all nerves carry pain signals. There are different nerves that carry information to the brain called afferent nerves and nerves that carry information from the brain out to the body called efferent nerves. There are also central and peripheral nerve fibers. The peripheral afferent nerves carry pain signals to the central afferent nerves which in turn carry the pain signals to the brain. The peripheral nervous system is made of three types of nerve fibers named groups A,B, and C type fibers. The group C fibers carry pain signals. I am trying to find the percentage myself but I have read that it is around 30% of the nervous system is capable of sensing pain.
