At the end of a nerve, there is a synapse, which transfers the signal on to the next nerve until it reaches it's destination - ie. the brain or a muscle. Nerve endings are what we feel the world around us with. Nerve endings are in every part of your body and they are always sensing what is going on around you. They feel the chair against your bottom, the key board under your finger tips, etc.
