These signals are received by the brain where the sound waves are processed.

Because oxygenated blood runs down the surface of the skin, which helps radiate heat and prevent overheating, the face turns red and gets a little warm from blood circulation. This whole process was done by Sarah's skeletal muscles and blood vessels as a homeostatic response that sought to establish a balance in the girl's body.
