touch -apex
Your sense of touch gets stimulated when nerve endings in your skin detect pressure, temperature, or vibration. These nerve impulses then travel to your brain, where they are processed and interpreted as different sensations such as heat, cold, pain, or texture.
The skin is sensitive to heat, cold, extreme temperature (hot or cold), pressure, pain/irritation and vibrations.
The skin has nerves to detect changes in the external environment. The nerves of the skin can detect heat and cold, pressure, pain, and touch.
The receptors that detect heat are called thermoreceptors, and the receptors that detect cold are called cold receptors. These specialized nerve endings are located in the skin and help the body regulate its temperature.
We detect infrared radiation as heat. This form of radiation is emitted by objects due to their temperature, and our skin can sense it as warmth.

Sensory receptor cells
Insects like grasshoppers have heat receptors in their body to detect heat. They also have antennas which help them detect movement and vibrations.
They detect the body heat of an animal. When they sense the heat, they just stick on.
The receptors that detect heat are called thermoreceptors, and the receptors that detect cold are called cold receptors. These receptors are specialized nerve cells that respond to changes in temperature and send signals to the brain to interpret these sensations.
Thermoreceptors are the type of receptors that detect heat and cold. They are specialized nerve endings located in the skin and other tissues that respond to changes in temperature.
