Some touch sensors that are close to the surface record light touches, sorta like touching your phone screen; whereas the ones deeper measure harder touches, like pressing on a perfume nozzle. I wonder what would happen if something stimulated both the Surface and Deep touch sensors. ]]> 2017-08-07 16:15:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jalder1002/8l1kbe9k5yhq/wish/180282015 jalder1002 https://padlet.com/jalder1002/8l1kbe9k5yhq/wish/180283180 It was interesting to learn that touch receptors are sensitive enough to feel a single beat of a fly's wing. I wonder if that is why we get random goosebumps when a slight cold draft comes by us.]]> 2017-08-07 16:28:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jalder1002/8l1kbe9k5yhq/wish/180283180 jalder1002 https://padlet.com/jalder1002/8l1kbe9k5yhq/wish/180285211 I was surprised to learn that ordinarily our body produces 2 pints of sweat a day, but under extreme conditions, our body can produce up to 4 pints an hour of sweat, so long as it is replenished. I wonder if our body could produce more than that if we had more weight, or we were out of shape, or other factors. ]]> 2017-08-07 16:55:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jalder1002/8l1kbe9k5yhq/wish/180285211 jalder1002 https://padlet.com/jalder1002/8l1kbe9k5yhq/wish/180285757 I enjoyed learning that when our skin temperature gets above 93 degrees, the heat sensors in out body trigger a cooling system; this cooling system can be the thing that keeps you alive in a dangerous situation. Sensors for heat are most prevalent in our fingertips, nose, and oddly our elbows. ]]> 2017-08-07 17:03:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jalder1002/8l1kbe9k5yhq/wish/180285757
