Sense of touch

INFORMATION:

The organ for the sense of human touch is the skin. It is the largest sensory organ because, unlike the others, it is not found in any specific place, but in the whole body. A few places without sensory receptors (skin) are our hair and fingernails.

Touch is not only perceived by the skin, but also includes receptors in the muscles.
RECEPTORS:

 

The different receptors help us to respond to different stimuli such as tension, pressure, pain, temperature, shape, texture, weight, vibaration and contours.
EXAMPLE OF A STIMULI:

 

Pan:
