Touch Sensation

Touch sensation, also known as tactile perception, refers to the ability to perceive and recognize sensations on the skin's surface or within the body. This includes the sense of pressure, temperature, pain, and texture. It's one of the fundamental senses, allowing us to interact with and understand the physical world around us. Our skin contains various types of receptors that respond to different stimuli, transmitting signals to the brain, where they are interpreted and processed. This complex process enables us to feel sensations ranging from the softness of a feather to the heat of a flame, providing essential information for our survival and well-being
