The touch passes through the perforated tendons and is transmitted to this same place; these tendons spread out with infinite ramifications into the skin … and carry impulse and sensation to the limbs; and passing between muscles and sinews dictate their movement to them; and they obey and in the act of obeying they contract because the swelling of the muscles reduces their length drawing the nerves with it. These nerves are interwoven amid the limbs and spread out to the extremities of the fingers transmitting to the ‘sensus communis’ the impression of what they touch.
