THE TOUCH

THE TOUCH

• The touch is one of the five human senses.

• The organ of the touch is the skin: so, we can feel the touch outside our body

• The skin has three parts:
• epidermis
• dermis
• hipodermis.

• This is how it works: when something touch your skin, it activates the nerve´s endings. The information is driven through the nerve to your brain:

• The touch is the only sense that is all around our body.

• The skin protects our muscles and bones.

• Animals and plants are sensitive too, so they have the sense of touch as well. 

• The sense of touch helps us to perceive things through our skin. Air temperature, heat, cold.

• It´s very helpful for blind people, who can not use their eyes.

• Touch helps us as well to express some kind of feelings: for example, we use it to give kisses, to express love or to hit someone.

• Touch and hearing are the only senses that is possible to use every moment of the day, when you are awake or asleep.
