'''Touch''' is one of the body's [[senses]], provided by the [[skin]]TOUCH ME. We normally think of the sense of touch being only in the [[finger]]s, but most parts of the skin are capable of feeling and perceiving various elements of this sense. Strictly, touch is part of the [[somatosensory system]] that perceives what we call "touch" or "[[pressure]]" including [[vibration]], [[temperature]] (warm or cold), [[pain]] (including [[itch]] and [[tickle]]), as well as [[proprioception]] (the sensations of [[muscle]] movement and joint position including posture), movement, [[face|facial]] expression and visceral senses (sensory information from within the body, such as [[stomach]] [[ache]]s). Through a combination of these senses, generally using the fingers and arms, we are also able to perceive shape, softness, and texture. Touch is important to [[blind]] people who typically use touch in combination with hearing to 'see' the shape of the world around them. [[Category:Senses]]
