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.

What controls your five senses?

The five senses are controlled by sensory receptors located throughout the body, such as in the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin. These receptors detect stimuli from the environment and send signals to the brain to process and interpret sensory information. The brain then integrates this information to create our perception of the world around us.


What are the five sences?

There are five internal senses: 1. The intuition (common sense) combines the forms it receives from the five external senses. 2. The imagination keeps these forms stored. 3. The sense of memory (imaginative power) combines and separates forms kept in the imagination. 4. The estimative power judges perceived salient or of interest (e.g., the sheep that apprehends the perceived wolf as something it should flee from). 5. The memory keeps these prerational estimations.
