Detailed explanation-1: -The “five senses” model is based on where the sensory cells are located in the body: the eye, mouth, nose, ear, and skin. The “twenty senses” model is based on the number of specialized cell types, the types of signals that activate them, and the types of responses they trigger.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are five basic human senses: touch, sight, hearing, smell and taste. The sensing organs associated with each sense send information to the brain to help us understand and perceive the world around us.
Detailed explanation-3: -We all learned the five senses in elementary school: sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch. But did you know we actually have seven senses? The two lesser known senses are vestibular and proprioception and they are connected to the tactile sense (touch). Vestibular sense involves movement and balance.
Detailed explanation-4: -The principle of five basic human senses is often traced back to Aristotle’s De Anima (On the Soul), in which he devotes a separate chapter to vision, hearing, touch, smell and taste.
