Vibration sense

Vibration sense, also known as vibratory sensation, is the ability to detect vibrations or oscillations in the environment through the skin. It is primarily mediated by specialized nerve endings called mechanoreceptors, which respond to pressure changes caused by vibrations. This sense helps us perceive textures and changes in surfaces. For example, when you touch a ringing phone or a buzzing speaker, vibration sense allows you to feel those movements. It plays a vital role in activities like using tools, playing musical instruments, and interacting with various objects, enhancing our understanding and response to our surroundings.
