skin senses—pressure,
temperature (warmth & cold),
and pain.

TOUCH Skin receptors that make us aware of how & where we’re being touched.
PRESSURE Receptors beneath the skin that make us aware of deeper touch.
TEMPERATURE Receptors are found just beneath the skin to give the sensa:on of hot, cold, and warm.
