The tactile system sends information into the touch receptors from our skin. There is much to consider when thinking about touch.

Pressure (light versus heavy), texture, (rough, sticky, soft, wet, dry, silky, smooth, bumpy) temperature, (hot, warm, cold), and emotions regarding texture, (will I be able to wash my hands?)

People react differently to different types of touch depending on their system.
