how many nerve-endings in the foot connect to all other parts of our body?
Well, a basic layout is that a bundle of large nerves come from the brain, travel down our spinal cord, and leave at different spots in the spinal cord to travel out to our extremities. These big nerves branch out into smaller ones and then smaller and so on. We have millions of nerve endings so the part of your question about how many there are in the feet is pretty hard to say. Most nerve endings are in our skin though and that is mainly where we feel pain, not so much in the muscle or bone underneath.
The nerve endings in your feet or any other part of your body connect to the brain, not really to each other. So when you feel pain in your feet it's transmitted straight up to the brain not to a finger or something. The nerves make a network of roads traveling to and from their routes with the brain as Grand Central Station sometimes directing the travel, and sometimes receiving it.
thnk you now i have a better understanding of the feet. did you ever notice how we are up right with all of our Most Sensitive Body Part exposed... throat, eyes, groin etc. our feet are the only senitive part grounded.
