GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Sensation is our ability to detect senses like touch, pain, vision, or the movement and positioning of our body. Perception is the way in which the brain processes and communicates these senses to the rest of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -The area of the brain responsible for interpreting your sense of touch is called the sensory cortex. The sensory cortex is divided into specific areas, each of which communicates with a single part of your body, such as your left pinky finger or your tongue.

Detailed explanation-3: -Somatosensation, which is another word for our sense of touch, occurs in a number of forms, like feeling texture, temperature, pressure, pain or vibration. It’s responsible for proprioception, which helps us know where we are within our environment.

Detailed explanation-4: -Touch communicates warmth, caring, and support, and is an essential part of the enjoyment we gain from our social interactions with close others (Field et al., 1997; Kelter, 2009). The skin, the largest organ in the body, is the sensory organ for touch.
