Skin sends information (such as texture of a surface or pain) to the brain via nervous tissue. These are micro sized (thinner than hair) "wires" inside the body that connect all organs to the CNS (central nervous system) located in the spine. The CNS then relays this info to the brain up the spine. Additional info: the palm, fingers and feet have more nervous nodes, hence we are able to feel more with our hands and feet.
