Senses

A list of Senses. Whilst the 5 primary senses are widely recognized, there are many quantifiable and ambiguous senses. The equally widely recognized ‘6th Sense’ is an example. The reason the broader senses are debated is because of the interconnection between several of them, creating difficulty in distinguishing them distinctly and concisely, “where one begins and one ends”. Instance, how many senses and receptors can be extrapolated from Sight or Touch. This list serves as clarification and inspiration, as well as education. After all, asking the right questions brings the right answers. Sensation and Perception are interconnected and again, ambiguous in many aspects. There are several related and distinct Perceptions coinciding with the Senses here.
