What is the difference between touch and hunger in the aspect of stimulus. What is the mechanism in our body to respond to the stimuli?
Answers
Answer:
A number of receptors are distributed throughout the skin to respond to various touch-related stimuli (Figure 1). These receptors include Meissner’s corpuscles, Pacinian corpuscles, Merkel’s disks, and Ruffini corpuscles. Meissner’s corpuscles respond to pressure and lower frequency vibrations, and Pacinian corpuscles detect transient pressure and higher frequency vibrations. Merkel’s disks respond to light pressure, while Ruffini corpuscles detect stretch

Explanation:
Stimulus is our surrounding.
Hunger is not not due to stimulus, it is internal, our body thrives on energy and needs it through food, so craves for food.
Touch involves senses, and that means nerves, so this is a stimulus and gives rise to our response either voluntary or involuntary.
