Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The neuroimmunocutaneous system (NICS) is responsible for the cutaneous sensations of touch, pressure, temperature, and pain. This sensory transduction occurs via primary afferent nerves following reciprocated signals between neuronal and nonneuronal skin cells of the NICS [1].
Detailed explanation-2: -Free nerve endings are considered to be the somatosensory receptors for pain, temperature and crude touch. Proprioceptors are located in muscles, tendons, joint ligaments and in joint capsules. There are no specialized sensory receptor cells for body proprioception 4.
