The four senses of sight, hearing, smell, and taste are located in specific parts of the body.

The sense of touch is located throughout the body, in your largest organ, the skin. The sense of touch originatees in the bottom layer of your skin called the dermis.

The dermis is filled with many tiny nerve endings that give you information about the things your body is touching. Nerve endings do this by carrying the information to the spinal cord, which sends messages to the brain where the feeling is registered.

The nerve endings in your skin can tell you if something is hot or cold. They can also feel if something is hurting you. Your body has about twenty different types of nerve endings that all send messages to your brain. However, the most common receptors are heat, cold, pain, and pressure or touch receptors. Pain receptors are probably the most important for your safety because they can protect you by warning your brain that your body is hurt.

Some areas of the body are more sensitive than others because they have more nerve endings. It hurts when you bite your tongue because the sides of your tongue have a lot of nerve endings that are very sensitive to pain. Your tongue, however, is not as good at sensing hot or cold. That is why it is easy to burn your mouth when you eat something really hot. Your fingertips are also very sensitive. People who are blind use their fingertips to read Braille by feeling the patterns of raised dots on their paper.

How many cycles of oscillation does the radiation from a cesium-133 atom complete during one mosquito wing beat?.
kondaur [170]

The frequency of radiation from a Cesium-133 atom is 9,192,631,770 cycle/s

= 9.192631770×10^{9} cycles/s

The number of cycles of radiation in one second is 9.192631770×10^{9}

The number of cycles during 1 mosquito wing beat,

i.e., the number of cycles in \frac{1}{605} s

= (9.192631770×10^{9})(\frac{1}{605} )

= 1.519×10^{7} cycles/beat

<h3>What is Mike Velings talks about?</h3>

Industrial aquaculture has had a wide range of negative effects on the environment, including the overfishing of wild fish to feed carnivorous farmed fish and the escape of farmed fish from their containment, which endangers local wild fish populations.

Lastly, in the words of Mike Velings, We are approaching a worldwide food crisis, he said. At our current rate, we are already taking more fish from the ocean than it can naturally replace, despite the fact that almost 3 billion people rely on the ocean for their food. Mike Velings, an entrepreneur and conservationist, offers a solution in this fact-filled, eye-opening talk: the practice of farming fish. "We need to stop hunting the ocean and start farming it,"

What 3 things are necessary for germination to begin
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

water, correct temperature, and a good location.

Explanation:

Seeds wait to germinate until three needs are met: water, correct temperature, and a good location. During its early stages of growth, the seedling relies upon the food supplies stored with it in the seed until it is large enough for its own leaves to begin making food through photosynthesis.
