Sensory Systems - Somatosensory System

Happy Friday!

The somatosensory system is a sensory network that allows us to perceive and interpret physical sensations from our environment and within our own bodies. It provides vital information about temperature, pressure, touch, pain, and body position, enabling us to navigate, respond to, and understand the world around us. This system plays a crucial role in our daily activities, from simple tasks like holding objects to complex movements like dancing or sports. Here’s an in-depth look at the somatosensory system, how it works, its functions, and its role in our life.
