The somatosensory system is responsible for perceiving touch, pain, and temperature. The vestibular system is responsible for balance and spatial orientation.
The somatosensory system has a number of different receptors that help to sense a number of stimuli traditionally associated with touch. The receptors are on the skin, muscles, bones, and joints.
