tactile sensation

Tactile sensation is the sense of touch, allowing us to perceive physical characteristics like pressure, texture, temperature, and pain through nerve endings in the skin. When these nerve endings detect stimuli, they send signals via the nervous system to the brain, which interprets the information to help us understand our environment. This sense is essential for everyday activities, such as holding objects, feeling textures, or sensing pain as a warning. Tactile sensation involves a complex interplay of sensory receptors, neural pathways, and brain processing to provide us with detailed feedback about our surroundings.
