Dermal stimulation may take several forms. We can distinguish between a sharp and a blunt stimulus, and further from a brushing stimulus. We can also detect vibration against the skin, and heat.
[So much for the five senses, which usually ignore balance as well. ]
The sensation of compressed air on the skin can trigger a response in the body's nervous system, which may heighten sensitivity to external stimuli. This heightened sensitivity can lead to increased awareness and potentially quicker reactions to the surrounding environment.
Skin can detect temperature changes, allowing us to feel hot or cold sensations. It also detects physical stimuli such as pressure, touch, and pain.
The organ receives stimuli from the skin and mucous membranes.
your skin. specifically the dermis
The epidermis.
Three examples of stimuli that skin can respond to are temperature changes (hot or cold), touch or pressure, and exposure to chemicals or irritants.
sensory
The skin is the most outer layer of the part of our body.In that case it is the most sensitive part of the body so its the first part of the body that can respond to stimuli
In the skin, neurons that detect stimuli are called mechanoreceptors for touch, nociceptors for pain, and thermoreceptors for temperature. In the eyes, neurons that detect light stimuli are called photoreceptors, specifically rods and cones located in the retina.
sensory neurons
Sensation can be described as the awareness of stimuli via the senses. If there is an inability to sense the stimuli, there will be no sensation.
Internal and external stimuli affect cells
