Integumentary System Fun in Miss Stacy’s Anatomy & Physiology!
“Two-Point Touch Threshold” experiment helps students understand how nerve endings detect sensations differently across the skin due to varying receptor density. In groups, students used paper clips spaced 5mm to 50mm apart to test how close two touches can be before they feel like one, comparing results from different body areas.
