And I wonder what my hands would be able to feel if they had even more touch sensors per square inch such two times the amount. nlira1 https://padlet.com/nlira1/xlm0zfoelsaz/wish/124933558 2016-09-20 01:02:06 UTC https://padlet.com/nlira1/xlm0zfoelsaz/wish/124933558 I learned that a fat layer surrounds key nerves of the body ,so they don't interfere with other nerves which enables them to travel through the bodies nervous system at 250 mph. And I wonder how difficult it would be for  our bodies to operate  if there was  an absence of the fat layer around  key nerves. nlira1 https://padlet.com/nlira1/xlm0zfoelsaz/wish/124933986 2016-09-20 01:06:12 UTC https://padlet.com/nlira1/xlm0zfoelsaz/wish/124933986 I learned that when our skin reaches 93 degrees sensors signal our brain to start a cooling process. I was unaware that our bodies would trigger that response at that temperature. nlira1 https://padlet.com/nlira1/xlm0zfoelsaz/wish/124935204 2016-09-20 01:13:21 UTC https://padlet.com/nlira1/xlm0zfoelsaz/wish/124935204 I learned that beneath our skin, there are 1 million tiny sweat glands. When we heat up our blood vessels dilate, bringing blood and heat to the skin surface more quickly. I've always wondered why some people sweat substantially more than others, in identical conditions.  nlira1 https://padlet.com/nlira1/xlm0zfoelsaz/wish/124935932 2016-09-20 01:18:15 UTC https://padlet.com/nlira1/xlm0zfoelsaz/wish/124935932
