4. 1: Sense of touch: There are five senses in our body (vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch.) Our sense of touch is controlled by a huge network of nerve endings and touch receptors known as somatosensory system. The somatosensory system is responsible for all the sensations we feel (cold, hot, smooth, rough, pressure, pain, vibrations etc.) In our body, we feel our sensation of touch by receptors. Which are present in our whole body skin . Our nervous system has a specific sensory nervous system to detect sensation of body.

5. Touch is a powerful tool for communicating positive emotions . Touch is more versatile than voice and facial expressions. According to Laura Guerrero : “ Touch also increase the speed of communication b/w humans.” “We feel more connected if someone touch us.” EXAMPLE: Handshake.

6. 2: How sensation of touch reach to brain? When we touch something, our receptors and nerve impulses carries the messages of touch from skin and sends it to nervous system in which nerve impulses send the message to brain and our brain sends impulses towards spinal cord and then message goes towards end organs to show reaction about touch. Receptor CNS End organs

7. Types of Receptors: Mechano receptor (for movement) Thermo receptor (for detection of heat) Nocio receptor (for detection of pain) Propio receptor (for detection of position)

The eyes, ears, nose and tongue are all covered by a type of skin with specialized nerve receptors which interpret the “touch” of our environment as the other four of our familiar five senses.

10. We also deduct behaviour and thoughts of individuals by touch. EXAMPLE: A mother’s touch enhances attachment b/w mother and child; it can signify security.

11. 4: Loss Of Touch Sensation: The complete or partial loss of touch sensation is called Hypoesthesia . Hypoesthesia also occurs due to aging. It also occurs due to Stiffness of skin and Burning of skin.
