Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The skin possesses many sensory receptors in the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, which allows for discrimination of touch such as pressure differences (light vs. deep). Other qualities of the external world assessed by skin sensory receptors includes temperature, pain, and itch.
Detailed explanation-2: -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].
