ScienceBiologyBiology: The Unity and Diversity of Life (MindTap Course List)The somatic sensations arise when a stimulus excites a sensory neuron through action potential. They originate at the sensory receptors in skin, joints, and muscle. They are sensed by the sensory receptors, namely mechanoreceptors, thermo-receptors, chemoreceptors, photoreceptors, and pain receptors.
