If the hair on the back of a neck is stroke gently when we feel a tingling sensation due to the stimulation of the sensory nervous system.

Explanation:

  • when the hair is moved then there is  movement of the follicle. The follicle is attached to the sensory nerve roots.
  • As a result of this the sensory nerve roots get sensitized. The sensation is carried on to the central nervous system. as a result of this there is a tingling sensation even though the part of the skin is not touched.
