what are my six senses?

Answer 1

A human being not only has the traditional 5 senses of touch, taste, sight, smell, hearing, but also Thermoception, which tells us the temperature and Equilibrioception, which enables to tell which is up and down. There's also two others.....but I'd have to look them up.


The other two are Nociception, which is our pain percetion, and Proprioception, which is our perception of our body parts in relation to each other. So it seems there are 9 senses in total.

Answer 2

The first five are the most typical i.e. sight, smell, hearing, touch, taste, but the sixth is more controversial. It is kinaesthesia or also referred to as proprioception. Proprioception (meaning "one's own" and perception) is the sense of the relative position of neighbouring parts of the body. Unlike the six exteroception senses (sight, taste, smell, touch, hearing, and balance) by which we perceive the outside world, proprioception is an interoception sense that provides feedback solely on the status of the body internally. It is the sense that indicates whether the body is moving with required effort, as well as where the various parts of the body are located in relation to each other.

Kinesthesia is another term that is often used interchangeably with proprioception. Some users differentiate the kinesthetic sense from proprioception by excluding the sense of equilibrium or balance from kinesthesia. An inner ear infection, for example, might degrade the sense of balance. This would degrade the proprioceptive sense, but not the kinesthetic sense. The infected person would be able to walk, but only by using the person's sense of sight to maintain balance; the person would be unable to walk with eyes closed.

Kinesthesia is a key component in muscle memory and hand-eye coordination and training can improve this sense (see blind contour drawing). The ability to swing a golf club, or to catch a ball requires a finely-tuned sense of the position of the joints. This sense needs to become automatic through training to enable a person to concentrate on other aspects of performance, such as maintaining motivation or seeing where other people are.

I hope this anwers your question and warrants the best answer.

Answer 3

There are several methods to improve quickly and naturally eye sight.
To know how to do that you can find here a complete method based on researches done by some scientist, for a cheap price ( http://getyourvisionbacknow.keysolve.net )

I can give you just some tips but I suggest to give a look to the method that i posted above, for example you can take more food that contains vitamin A such as carrots may help to naturally improve your eye sight.
We can also always do exercises. There are exercises such as rolling your eyeball to form an invisible square that are always recommended by the doctors to improve one's eyesight.
I don't know about quickly as there is no fast way to reach one's goal.

Vegetarians can help to improve one's eye sight. I believe it because I am a vegetarian and my eye short-sightedness power remains the same without any increase after about 2 years.
The doctor was shocked because teenagers at my years will usually have a most increase since we are always watching TV, playing computers and also reading.
I do not know whether it is totally true or not but it does affect a bit on the result.

Answer 4

Sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste, and the sixth sense is love. No wait, that's the FIFTH ELEMENT.

There isn't really a 'sixth sense'. Extrasensory Perception has been proposed as a sixth sense, but that's a pretty broad category. I'll stick with 'love' as a sixth sense; it just makes things feel nicer.

Answer 5

The five are as follows: vision, gustation (taste), olfaction (smell), auditory (hearing) and somatosensation. It is the last one, somatosensation, which is causing the confusion. All the extra senses that people are adding are somatosensory in origin.

Somatosensation can be broken down into proprioception, kinethesis and the cutaneous senses, which include temperature, tactile(touch) and pain. The reason why all these seemingly different senses are collectively known as somatosensation isn't just because they are all body senses, but has more to do with the structure of the brain. Different areas of the brain are associated with different functions. The area related to vision is separate in structure and function to that of hearing, and they are both separate from somatosensation. However, the area responsible for somatosensation, the somatosensory cortex, receives input from structures responsible for pain, touch, proprioception, etc. Consequently, these senses may appear to be separate entities at first glance but it is their common destination, and subsequent similarity in processing, that has combined them into a whole.

Answer 6

Smell, Sight, Hearing, Tactile Sense (Touch), Taste, Apperception (Mental)

Answer 7

Sight, Hearing, Taste, Touch, and Smell are the 5 senses and 6th sense is a sort of intuition or 'seeing the future' type thing.

Answer 8

I don't think there is such thing as a sixth sense. Then again, I've never been to a psychic. Kinda scared to go and find out about my future. So, since I'm scared about my future, I guess I really do believe that psychics have a sixth sense. WOW!

Answer 9

You don't have six senses, you have five. But some people believe that you have a sixth sense. I don't know if I do.

Answer 10

Sight, Hearing , Taste, Smell and Touch. Your sixth sense is the one that you use throught your "Third Eye" the ability to communicate by telepathy, and to have site into the next world.
