If we limit touch to pressure, yeah, pain and temp have to be separated. Joel Send a noteboard - 07/01/2011 07:04:05 PM
I usually equate "touch" with "pressure." Temperature sensing seems almost completely different- you can feel cold without feeling pressure. Hm...

I'm not sure we should really do that though; pain and temperature sensitivity seem integral to touch. Temperature, unless I'm mistaken (quite possible; I suck at bio), is detected exclusively through the skin. Don't pain and temperature receptors tend to be found with pressure receptors? They're so closely related I'm not sure it makes sense to separate them.
time, hunger, thirst and balance seem good candidates

Yeah, I agree.

I didn't bother to check, but I did find it interesting that those constitute four more, which, with the "classic" five, would account for the minimum nine referenced at Wikipedia.

I'm not sure how you can equate the feeling of pain with touch. Legolas - 07/01/2011 11:40:36 PM 526 Views
Because I think of pain receptors as being grouped with tactile ones. Joel - 07/01/2011 11:58:48 PM 681 Views
Agreed. For the rest, I knew all the ones that had ever crossed my mind. They arent common at all Cannoli - 07/01/2011 11:52:48 PM 534 Views
