The skin contains four main types of sensors: mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, nociceptors, and proprioceptors. Mechanoreceptors detect touch, pressure, and vibration; thermoreceptors sense temperature changes; nociceptors respond to pain and potentially harmful stimuli; and proprioceptors provide information about body position and movement. Together, these sensors allow the skin to perceive a wide range of environmental stimuli, contributing to the body's overall sensory experience.
