Touch is the oldest and the most primitive sense that we have. It is the first sense we experience in the womb and the last one we lose before death. The organ that is most associated with the sense of touch is the skin. The uppermost part of the skin is called epidermis‚ which is as thick as a piece of paper‚ and it protects the inner part.

sensory receptors of the skin are concerned with at least five different senses: pain‚ heat‚ cold‚ touch‚ and pressure. The five are usually grouped together as the single sense of touch in the classification of the five senses of the whole human body. The sensory receptors vary greatly in terms of structure. For example‚ while pain receptors are simply unmyelinated terminal branches of neurons‚ touch receptors form neuronal fiber nets around the base of hairs and deep pressure receptors consist
