It's basically a way of sucking up to someone and it's almost as annoying and shallow as when girls post shit like omg stop being so perf! and then of course the required response is no that's you bb ð and it goes back and forth like that.
Temperature receptors. The sensory system involved in perceiving the changes in skin temperature begins with free nerve endings found in the dermal and epidermal layers of skin that can be functionally classified as cold and warm thermoreceptors.
Temperature perception experiment. Thermoreceptors are rapidly adapting receptors, which are divided into two types: cold and warm. When you put your finger into cold water, cold receptors depolarize quickly, then adapt to a steady state level which is still more depolarized than the steady-state. Warm receptors do the opposite: hyperpolarize quickly, then adapt to a slightly hyperpolarized state. This scenario is schematized in S&G Figure 10.14b.
