Skin comprise of five receptors, namely receptor of touch (Meissner nerve and Merkel disc), pressure (Paccini nerve), pain (nerve without membrane), heat (Ruffini nerve or Mazzoni golgy), and cold (Krause nerve).
Sensory nerves on skin are scattered unevenly and can be found in difference depth. Head and cold stimulations are received by different receptor, so that we can differentiate between hot and cold. A strong pain stimulation affecting the skin generates pain receptor to react. Pain sensation is a protection to our body because pain is a signal of wound on our body
