The Sense of Touch - Senses for Kids

Educational video for children to learn how it works and which parts of the body are related to the sense of touch, which allows us to detect, identify and distinguish among the properties of the objects and the world around us. Thanks to it, we can perceive temperature, forms or textures. Also thanks to it, we can perceive pain. The skin is the sense organ of touch, and it is divided into different layers: epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. In this video, children will discover what each layer is meant for and what is the overall function of the sense of touch. If we touch something hot, receptors and nerve endings in our skin collect the different sensations and send the information to the brain through the nerve endings. The brain will be in charge to recognize the shape of the object, its texture and of course its temperature. In addition, the video ends with some correct skincare recommendations.
