9 senses?


Who knew? I've always heard of 5 senses with the occasional add in of the mind's eye as the 6th. Here's a list of all the senses: (from yesbutnobutyes)
At least nine. Sure you've got your sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. But there are four others that are commonly agreed to be senses.

* Thermoception, the sense of heat (or absence of) on our skin.
* Equilibrioception, the sense of balance.
* Nociception, the perception of pain from the skin, joints and body organs.
* Proprioception, body awareness. This is the unconscious knowledge of where our body parts are without being able to see or feel them.
