that our bodies can feel‚ whether they are actual objects or internal pain. Although we are aware of these textures‚ pressure‚ and sensations most of us probably do not realize that it is the job of our nervous system to make sure we are conscious of these things. XXX So what about our nervous system helps us identify these sensations? In order for our bodies to perceive vibrations we need Pacinian corpuscles. The Pacinian corpuscles are located our fingers and hands where they detect vibrations by

2.2 Electrical Communication Study Guide by Hisrich 2.2.a How does communication happen within the body? Electrical Signals Nervous System Chemical Signals Endocrine System The nervous system is made up of neurons. Neurons communicate just like people do‚ but they send messages using action potentials (electricity passing through their axons). Each neuron picks up signals at its dendrites‚ passes the signals down the axon‚ into the axon terminals‚ and into the synapses. The synapse
