Do we have only five senses?

 What do you think, that we have only five senses? No, you are wrong we humans have more than five senses.

No doubt we have five basic senses that are- eyesight, taste, touch, hearing and smell but except this we have some other lesser-known senses also. These senses are mentioned in the following:-

1. Equilibrioception- a sense of balance. This is what keeps us upright, and help us make our way around without getting hurt.

2. Proprioception- a sense that gives us the ability to tell which parts of our body are where without looking. The "close your eyes and touch your feet" test is testing this sense.

3. Kinanesthesia- sense of movement.

4. Thermoception- we know whether our environment is too cold or too hot. Being able to sense the temperature around us helps keep us alive and well.

5. Nociception- the ability to feel pain.

6. Chronoception- how we sense the passing of time. We naturally have “perceived duration,” the perceived time interval between two successive events.
