What are the name of the five senses?

Answer 1

Sight - the ability of the brain and eye to detect electromagnetic waves within the visible range (light) which is why people see interpreting the image as "sight."

Hearing - is the sense of sound perception. Since sound is vibrations propagating through a medium such as air, the detection of these vibrations, that is the sense of the hearing, is a mechanical sense akin to a sense of touch, albeit a very specialized one.

Taste - is one of the two main "chemical" senses. There are at least four types of tastes that "buds" (receptors) on the tongue detect.

Smell - is the other "chemical" sense. Unlike taste, there are hundreds of olfactory receptors, each binding to a particular molecular feature.

Touch - is a perception resulting from activation of neural receptors, generally in the skin including hair follicles, but also in the tongue, throat, and mucosa.

Answer 2

The concept that we have only five senses is not supported by observation or science. The Five usually stated are:

• Sight
  
• Hearing
  
• Touch
  
• Taste
  
• Smell
  

This would not account for:

• Balance (How do you maintain aren't position)
  
• Taste not related to flavour (hot spice etc)
• Fatigue
• Hunger
  
• Temperature evaluation (Heat or cold)
  
• Body position (How do you know where your arm is if you don't look)
  
• Pressure
  
• Accelleration
  
• Thirst
  
• Weight evaluation
• Knowing the need to urinate of defecate

The estimate of the number of senses ranges up to 30 depending on the reference cited.
