The somatosensory system, also known as somatic senses, touch or tactile perception, is a complex sensory system. It is considered one of the five traditional senses. It is made up of a number of different receptors, including thermoreceptors, photoreceptors, mechanoreceptors and chemoreceptors. It also comprises essential processing centres, or sensory modalities, such as proprioception, mechanoreception (touch), thermoception (temperature), and nociception (pain). The sensory receptors cover the skin and epithelial tissues, skeletal muscles, bones and joints, internal organs, and the cardiovascular system.
Somatic senses are sometimes referred to as somesthetic senses, with the understanding that somesthesis includes touch, proprioception and (depending on usage) also haptic perception.
Processing primarily occurs in the primary somatosensory area in the parietal lobe of the cerebral cortex: information is sent from the receptors via sensory nerves, through tracts in the spinal cord and finally into the brain.
In five minutes I'll be leaving this room,
she doesn't listen but my word how I swoon when she talks,
but talk is never enough.
The dirty talk that's what's bothering me,
And the gaudy walls of this rented property,
I think I'm watching too much porn on TV.
But I won't go upstairs with her if she talks to me this way,
And I'm not lonely, I'm just bored,
Her clothes are strewn over the living room floor.
I don't want to get laid I just want to be held.
She is unfaithful to a husband 5 miles away,
She lives alone and she rues her wedding day,
She married beneath herself that's what her girlfriends say.
Her smile is sad but not the saddest I've ever seen,
The saddest smiles are in the dirty magazines,
She made me laugh and now she plans to make me scream.
And petticoat hems are rising to high,
Romance is dead I think I see the reason why,
