Somatosensory System 0
The somatosensory system is responsible for processing sensory information from the skin, muscles, and joints, allowing the perception of touch, temperature, pain, and proprioception. It involves complex neural pathways and structures, including sensory receptors, peripheral nerves, the spinal cord, and the brain's somatosensory cortex, to integrate and interpret sensory input.
