Detailed explanation-1: -The somatosensory systems process information about, and represent, several modalities of somatic sensation (i.e., pain, temperature, touch, proprioception).
Detailed explanation-2: -The somatic sensory system has two major components: a subsystem for the detection of mechanical stimuli (e.g., light touch, vibration, pressure, and cutaneous tension), and a subsystem for the detection of painful stimuli and temperature.
Detailed explanation-3: -Somatic senses are the senses that have to do with touch. Tickling and pain, like on Patrick’s legs, are somatic senses, but so are other things that you might not think of right away, like temperature and movement. Somatosensory pathways relay information between the brain and nerve cells in the skin and organs.
Detailed explanation-4: -somatic sensation Sensations arising from the skin-such as touch, pressure, cold, warmth, and pain-and from the muscles, tendons, and joints-such as the position of the limbs and pain-are known as somatic sensations.
