    Cutaneous sensations refer to sensations detected on the skin, including pain, temperature, touch, pressure, and vibration. These sensations are detected by cutaneous receptors in the skin that are stimulated by internal or external changes. When a receptor is stimulated, a signal is transmitted via sensory nerve fibers to the brain, which integrates the signal and responds by sending a signal to effector organs like muscles or glands. The main types of cutaneous receptors are mechanoreceptors for detecting mechanical changes, nociceptors for detecting pain, and thermoreceptors for detecting temperature changes.

    Cutaneous Sensation.

    Definition:
     Sensations of The Skin are called cutaneous
    sensations.
     These Sensation Include.
    • Pain
    • Temperature
    • Cold
    • Touch
    • Pressure
    • Vibration
    cutaneous receptors
    • Sensations on the skin are detected by cutaneous receptors.
    • These receptors are stimulated by Internal or External Changes
    Called Stimulus. (Pleural: Stimuli)
    • When a stimulus stimulate a receptor, The signal is
    transmitted to the Brain by Sensory Nerve Fibers.
    • The brain Integrate the Signal, And make a Response to that
    particular Stimulus.
    • The response is Carried to The Effector Organ(muscle/Gland)
    By Motor Nerve Fiber.
    Type of Cutaneous Receptors
    Mechanoreceptors
    These receptors are involved in Detection of Mechanical
    changes in the surrounding of the receptor.
     Nociceptors
    These receptors Detect Pain
    Thermoreceptors
    these receptors are involved in the detection of
    Temperature.
    Mechanoreceptor SubTypes.
