A. TOUCH. The sense of touch relies on the largest sense organ in the body.

The largest sense organ in our body is our skin. Our skin houses receptors that sense touch.

Our sense of touch allows us to receive information about our internal and external environments which helps us form our sensory perceptions.  The sense of touch is also the first sense we develop from our fetal stage.

Touch receptors in our skin are nerve cells that inform our brain about tactile sensations. There are two types of touch receptors. They are thermoreceptors, tell us about the temperature of the object we touch, and the mechanoreceptors, tells our bodies about pushing/pulling forces and body movements and are responsible for translating physical forces to nerve impulses that are transmitted to our brains.
