Document Summary
Spirits running through hollow nerve fibres, conveying impressions to the brain and activating muscles. Pump that ventricles supplied fluids & pumped up the nerves sensory nerves conveyed impressions because fluids transmitted back to the brain. Mini explosions caused by fermentation (convert one substance into another) upon the mixing of fluid droplets from the nerve ends and blood, activating muscle a chemical process occurring. Vibrations, light of different energies transferred vibrations to nerves, conveying sensations to the brain maybe nerves pick up vibrations and pick up vibrations through the nerve and transmit it to the brain. Nerves cut underwater did not result in bubbling ferment (if you cut nerves underwater and release this fluid and it comes into contact with other things it does(cid:374)"t (cid:272)ause a chemical reaction/uneventful). * early in the 18th century electricity was the big thing, every curious individual seemed to be looking into it.
