While your other four [[senses]] ([http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Senses#Vision sight], [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Senses#Audition hearing], [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Senses#Smell.2C_Taste.2C_and_Touch smell, and taste]) are located in specific parts of the [[body]], your sense of '''touch''' is found all over. This is because your sense of touch originates in the bottom layer of your skin called the [[dermis]]. The dermis is filled with many tiny nerve endings which give you [[information]] about the [[things]] with which your [[body]] comes in contact. They do this by carrying the information to the spinal cord, which sends messages to the brain where the [[feeling]] is registered.

The nerve endings in your skin can tell you if something is hot or cold. They can also feel if something is hurting you. Your body has about twenty differnt types of nerve endings that all send messages to your [[brain]]. However, the most common receptors are heat, cold, pain, and pressure or touch receptors. Pain receptors are probably the most important for your safety because they can protect you by warning your brain that your body is hurt!
