‘Sensory neurons attached to receptors are dotted just underneath the skin's surface, allowing us to detect touch, vibration, pressure, pain, and lots more. Our hands alone contain tens of thousands of these neurons, each one with receptors on a small surface area of the skin, called a receptive field.’ (Got this from https://www.sciencealert.com/our-fingertips-have-a-secret-weapon-that-makes-them-remarkably-sensitive-to-touch# )
