====General Somatic Afferent (GSA)====
This type of fibre is used in the majority of basic senses including temperature, touch and [[Pain|pain]]. These fibres mainly supply sensation to various areas of the head including to the skin and face via the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V); to the skin of the [[Ear_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology#Outer_Ear|external ear]] via the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V), the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII), the glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX) and via the vagus nerve (cranial nerve X); to the mucosae of the [[Category:Oral_Cavity_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology|oral cavity]] via the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) and to the [[Meninges_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology|meningies]] of the brain via the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) and the vagus nerve (cranial nerve X).
