Definition
触觉 (chù jué) specifically refers to the sense of touch, one of the five physical senses. It is narrower than 感觉 (gǎn jué, general feeling/sensation) and 感受 (gǎn shòu, emotional or experiential feeling). Compare 味觉 (wèi jué, sense of taste), which follows the same pattern for a different sense.
