Question

The sense of touch can be considered a
A) general sense
B) special sense
C) chemoreceptor
D) both B and C

Accepted Answer

The sense of touch is a general sense, which refers to the senses that are widely distributed throughout the body and provide us with information about our surroundings such as pressure, temperature, and vibration. Special senses, on the other hand, are senses that are limited to specific organs, such as the eyes and ears. Chemoreceptors are receptors that detect chemical stimuli, which is not directly related to the sense of touch. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
