Touch

Receptors located in our skin

Gate control theory of pain: the nervous system blocks or allows pain signals to pass to the brain

Vestibular sense:
  • tells us where our body is oriented in space
  • our sense of balance
  • located in our semicircular canals in our ears
Kinesthetic sense: 
  • tells us where are body part are
  • receptors located in our muscles and joints
