Pain sense<br />
Superficial pain is tested with a pin but distinction should be made between pain<br />
sensation and fine touch. Pressure pain is tested by pressing hard or squeezing muscles.<br />
Temperature sense<br />
Temperature sense is tested with test tubes containing hot and cold waters.<br />
Adaptation of these receptors can be demonstrated by feeling water at room temperature<br />
after keeping the finger in hot or cold water for two minutes.<br />
