AB In  order  to  interpret  the  history  and  clinical  signs  of  patients  with  disorders  of  somatic  sensation,  the  functional  anatomy  of  the  sensory  components  of  the  nervous  system  must  be  understood.  As  used  here,  somatic  sensation  refers  to  the  sensations  of  touch  or  pressure,  vibration,  joint  position,  pain,  and  temperature,  and  to  more  complex  functions  that  rely  on  these  primary  sensory  modalities  (eg,  two-point  discrimination,  stereognosis,  graphesthesia);  it  excludes  special  senses  such  as  smell,  vision,  taste,  and  hearing.
