Touch and pressure is found along the cental sulcus of the parietal lobe, taste in the frontal lobe, smell in the temporal lobe, hearing also in the temporal lobe and vision in the occipital lobe.
It does this through brain connections to various cranial nerves, which then provide sensory and/or motor connections to the sensory organs.
For example, the sense of smell is experienced via the olfactory nerve, Cr. N. I
Eyesight is via the optic nerve, Cr. N. II, and movement of the eyball occurs through Cranial N. III, IV, and VI.
Hearing is via the vestibulocochlear Cr. N. VIII
Taste is via the glossopharyngeal Cr. N. IX
Touch is through many sensory and motor pathways, throughout the body.
The central nervous system controls the five senses. It takes sensory input from the peripheral nervous system.
The nervous system senses pain and controls movement.
The Cerebral Cortex
nervous system.
Your brain controls it and translates its messages to your senses.

The fight or flight actually has nothing to do with the vertebra at all. The Autonomic and Somatic Nervous systems which are included in the Peripheral Nervous system completely control the Fight or Flight response. The Autonomic controls all the nerves of all Voluntary Functions of the body and the Somatic controls the Non-Voluntary functions. The situation that activates this response is registered in the brain which sends signals to specific parts of the brain which are all included in the Central Nervous System or CNS. Such as, the Frontal lobe which would contain all logical thought processes in decision making as well as coordination. The Parietal Lobe which all senses and perception of the situations around you and so on through all Four Major Lobes. The CNS sends signals to the PNS which is divided. All signals from the frontal lobe would be sent to the Autonomic Nervous System because your thought process as well as being able to coordinate running or hiding is voluntary. The functions of the Parietal lobe would be sent to the somatic nervous system because it contains functions that do not require thought process such as breathing, increase in adrenaline and Pupil dialation.
The nervous system, through its two divisions: the peripheral and central nervous systems.

You can take care of the senses and the nervous system by eating foods that are high in B vitamins. These are known to support the nervous system and senses.
The brain consists of three main regions: Cerebrum, Cerebellum and the Medulla Oblongata (Brain Stem). The Cerebrum is the largest part of the brain that controls thought, memory and the senses. The Cerebellum is involved in the coordination of voluntary motor movement, balance and equilibrium and muscle tone. And the Medulla Oblongata controls autonomic functions, and relays nerve signals between the brain and spinal cord.
