Physical sensation means the detection of an environmental stimulus, this is realized by different receptor cells, such as chemoreceptors, mechanoreceptors, photoreceptors, and thermoreceptors.

The information is converted to electrical impulses that travel through the nerves to the central nervous system to be interpreted.
