Feel

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Feel is a term often used in psychology and medicine to describe the physical sensation or emotional state of an individual. It is a complex concept that encompasses a wide range of experiences, from physical touch to emotional states such as happiness, sadness, fear, and anger.

Physical Feel[edit | edit source]

Physical feel refers to the sensation that is experienced when the body comes into contact with an external object. This is primarily mediated by the somatosensory system, which is responsible for processing sensory information from the skin and internal organs. The somatosensory system includes a variety of receptors, including nociceptors (pain receptors), thermoreceptors (temperature receptors), and mechanoreceptors (pressure receptors).

Emotional Feel[edit | edit source]

Emotional feel, on the other hand, refers to the subjective experience of emotions. This is a complex process that involves multiple brain regions, including the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex. Emotions can be triggered by a variety of factors, including external events, thoughts, and physiological changes.

Feel in Medicine[edit | edit source]

In medicine, the term feel is often used to describe the process of physically examining a patient. This can involve palpation, where the physician uses their hands to feel for abnormalities in the body, such as lumps or areas of tenderness. Feel is also used to describe the subjective experience of symptoms, such as pain or discomfort.
