Abstract
The skin of mammals is richly innervated and contains sensory receptors specialized for the detection of three particular categories of natural stimuli: (1) mechanical contact (tactile receptors), (2) temperature changes by contact and from radiation to or from the body surface, and (3) actually or potentially damaging traumatic and chemical insults. The wide range of energies in such a diversity of natural stimuli requires the presence of diverse receptors. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
TL;DRThe skin of mammals is richly innervated and contains sensory receptors specialized for the detection of three particular categories of natural stimuli: mechanical contact, temperature changes by contact and from radiation to or from the body surface, and actually or potentially damaging traumatic and chemical insults.
