2435. The integument has, besides the nerves of the 

 tactile papillae, vascular and motor nerves. 



2436. The tongue is supplied with nerves of motion 

 and digestion, and has therefore three pairs of nerves. 



2437. The nose receives motor and respiratory nerves 

 from the fifth pair. 



2438. The ear has likewise three kinds of nerves the 

 auditory nerves, facial nerves, and a branch from the 

 fifth pair, not to mention those that are distributed to 

 the auditory conch; 



2439. The eye has, in addition to its wholly special 

 motor nerves, a number of others, which superintend its 

 vegetative systems, such as the iris and the secretions of 

 the humours. 



a. VEGETATIVE SENSES. 



1. Vascular Senses. 



2440. All senses are only conditionated by the peri- 

 pheric nervous mass because they are combinations 

 of the nervous mass with the blossoms of the inferior 

 systems. 



2441. The most general system of the animal is the 

 vascular system, which is represented externally as 

 integument. The animal was in the commencement 

 nothing but integument, and this again naught but 

 vascular and nervous mass, so that the whole integument 

 was thus an organ of sensation. 



2442. Through the integument the animal becomes 

 an individual, or a something distinct from the aggregate 

 of nature. Now as the integument is principally the 

 organ of sensation, so is the primary sensation that act, 

 by which the animal is distinguished from nature. The 

 tegument ary sense is the sense of distinction, of limitation. 



2443. Through the act of discriminating, a something 

 foreign or extraneous is granted us. The immediate 

 perception of what is extraneous, is called feeling. 

 Tegumentary sense is sense effecting. 



2444. The feeling-sense is the first in the animal.
