Term Information

Accession: GO:0050975
Name: sensory perception of touch
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: perception of touch, tactile sense, taction, tactition
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The series of events required for an organism to receive a touch stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. This is a neurological process. The perception of touch in animals is mediated by mechanoreceptors in the skin and mucous membranes and is the sense by which contact with objects gives evidence as to certain of their qualities. Different types of touch can be perceived (for example, light, coarse, pressure and tickling) and the stimulus may be external or internal (e.g. the feeling of a full stomach). Source: GOC:ai
