Skin has receptors {warmth fiber} that detect increased skin temperature. Skin is normally 30 C to 36 C. If skin is above normal temperature, warmth fibers provide information about material as heat flows from skin to object. Warmth fibers also provide information about body state, such as fever or warm-weather overheating. Heat receptors are deep in skin, especially in tongue. Warm fibers are 30 times fewer than cool fibers.
