They do this by carrying the information to the spinal cord, which sends messages to the brain where the [[feeling]] is registered. | While your other four [[senses]] ([http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Senses#Vision sight], [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Senses#Audition hearing], [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Senses#Smell.2C_Taste.2C_and_Touch smell, and taste]) are located in specific parts of the [[body]], your sense of '''touch''' is found all over.
