detect tissue damage

respond to temperature differences

respond to changes in pressure or movement

in the eyes respond to light energy

are feelings that occur when the brain interprets sensory impulses

At the same time the sensation is being formed, the brain uses ___ to send the sensation back to its point of origin so the person can pinpoint the area of stimulation.
