Beauty is only skin deep, but knowledge goes deeper with this brief presentation! Three of the five slides are photos of a hand touching an object, one is a colorful graphic display of the epidermis and dermis, while another may be an actual cross-section with nerve cell graphics superimposed. All of them display captions that together explain the basics of this touchy subject. Though the show is short, it is informative, and would put a finishing touch on your introduction to the sense of touch.
