Traditionally, the five special senses have been defined as taste, smell, sight, hearing and feeling. However, touch is now considered to reflect the activity of the general senses, and equilibrium, or balance, can be thought of as a new fifthspecial sense. In contrast to the general sensory receptors, most of which are modified dendrites of sensory neurons, the special sensory receptors are distinct receptor cells. They are either localised within complex sensory organs such as the eyes and ears, or within epithelial structures such as the taste buds and olfactory epithelium. The principle function of the special sensory receptors is to detect environmental stimuli and transduce their energy into electrical impulses. These are then conveyed along sensory neurons to the central nervous system, where they are integrated and processed, and a response is produced. As part of the Physiome Project, the Eye Modelling Research Group at the Bioengineering Institute is aiming to develop an anatomically based and biophysically accurate integrated model of the eye. The initial stage of this project is to model fluid flow in the mammalian lens. The completed model will includes a range of spatial and temporal scales, from the level of the protein and cell, to the whole organ, and ultimately it will be integrated with other the organ systems in the Auckland Bioengineering Institute's virtual human.

The primary gustatory cortex. Special sensory information for taste reaches the gustatory cortex via the chorda tympani and greater petrosal branch of the facial nerve, the lingual branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve, and the superior laryngeal branch of the vagus nerve. The special sensory information for taste originates in taste buds located on the upper surface of the tongue, soft palate, pharynx, and the upper part of the esophagus.

Receptor fits in at least three different disciplines, including:"Sensory receptor, in physiology, any structure which, on receiving environmental stimuli, produces an informative nerve impulse"Receptor (biochemistry), in biochemistry, a protein molecule that receives and responds to a neurotransmitter, or other substance"Immune receptor, a special case of biochemical receptor that occurs on the surface of immunocytes and binds to antigens."Follow the link, below, to the Wikipedia Receptor disambiguation page.

Olfactory receptor cells are the receptors for smell.
