Answer 1

Touch is the ability to sense pressure, vibration, temperature, pain, and other tactile stimuli. These stimuli are detected by mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, and nociceptors.

Step-by-step explanation:

Touch is the ability to sense pressure, vibration, temperature, pain, and other tactile stimuli. These types of stimuli are detected by mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, and nociceptors all over the body, but most noticeably in the skin. These receptors are especially concentrated on the tongue, lips, face, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. Various types of tactile receptors in the skin are shown in Figure 11.7.2.
