Question
Chapter 43.2, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The different types of touch sensation.
Introduction: There are several types of receptors present in our body which detect the different type of sensations. These receptors send signals to the central nervous system by which the body show response to the sensation.

Which parts of your body are most sensitive to touch?
When people are tickled, light touch receptors are activated, causing a range of different responses, including squirming or movement away from the stimulus. Match the step in the tickle response homeostasis loop with the correct label
