Introduction
These notes introduce the development of the sense of touch, part of the somatosensory system. Because of the distribution of the sensory structures within the skin, this topic is generally also covered in integumentary development.

Touch Receptors
Touch receptors in mammalian skin and the neural encoding of reception.[5]
Touch Pathway
Pacinian corpuscle
Meissner's corpuscle
Merkel cell
Isolated Merkel cell (em) |
Merkel cell (Merkel-Ranvier cell) integumentary (skin) receptor cell connected with somatosensory afferents.
Cell characteristics a polylobulated nucleus and numerous typical dense-core granules in a clear cytoplasm. Scale bar 5 µm (Stain - Osmium) |
Sensory Modalities
Thermoreceptors
- Receptors for heat (warmth) and cold (chill) detection.

Nociceptors
- Receptors for encoding and processing noxious stimuli.
- A-δ nociceptors
- Polymodal C-nociceptors
- C- mechano-insensitive nociceptors
Abnormalities
