stratum corneum
There are several different touch sensors in the skin. We can distinguish between blunt and sharp, a pressure, or a light stroke with a wisp of cotton wool. We can distinguish vibrations. Your finger tips and lips are very sensitive, and your back is pretty insensitive.
receptors pick up changes in touch, pressure, and temperature and transmit impulses into the brain and spinal cord. The body responds to protect itself or maintain homeostasis

Pressure receptors in the skin pick up the stimulus. It passes along a sensory neurone to the central nervous system. Within the CNS it is transferred to the cerebral contex via an association neurone, relay neurone.
receptors
These are called receptors. They can be of many different types, depending on what they perceive. Photoreceptors: Pick up light - like your eyes Chemoreceptors: Detect chemicals - like your nose and tongue Haptic receptors: Detect touch - like your skin
Proprioceptors are the type of receptors that help determine the weight of an object when you pick it up. These receptors are located in our muscles and joints, and provide feedback to our brains about the position and movement of our body parts.
Some areas of the skin have a higher density of touch and other receptors so that they are more sensitive. For instance, your fingers need to have a good set of receptors so that you can feel and pick up fine things. The skin of your face needs a high density of receptors to help protect your eyes.
