Special sensations are typically categorized under fine sensation. Fine sensations include touch, temperature, pressure, vibration, proprioception (sense of body position), and discriminatory sensations (ability to distinguish between different stimuli). These sensations are usually processed by specialized nerve receptors and are perceived in specific areas of the body. Crude sensations, on the other hand, are less specific and include sensations such as pain and general awareness of touch or pressure.
Special sensation is generally categorized as a subset of fine sensation. Fine sensation refers to the ability to perceive specific and detailed sensory information, such as touch, temperature, pressure, and pain. Special sensations include five specific senses: vision, hearing, taste, smell, and balance. These senses are considered special because they involve complex sensory organs, such as the eyes, ears, tongue, nose, and inner ear, respectively. Therefore, special sensation is a part of the broader category of fine sensation.
