Humans
have
senses
:
,
hearing
,
touch
,
smell
and
.
For
each
sense
,
we
have
appropriate
whose
role
is
to
produce
an

is
then
transmitted
to
the
via
the

Vision
receptors
are
on
our
retina

in
the
form
of
or
cones
.
They
can
detect

which
is
part
of
what
we
call
the

just

Human
eyes
cannot
detect
UV

or

.
They
can
only
detect
the
coloured
lights
composing
the
rainbow

They

Humans
cannot
detect
all
the
acoustic
waves
.
They
can
only
detect
sound
waves
with
frequencies
between
Hz
and
kHz
.
But
other
acoustic
waves
exist
.
Those
with
a
frequency
above
20
kHz
are
called

Those
with
a
frequency
below

are
called

There
are
several
types
of
sensory
receptors
in
our
body
that
are
sensitive
to
touch
.
Some
of
them
allow
us
to
sens

Some
others
allow

Thermoreceptors
are
special
sensory
cells
in
our
body
that
detect
changes
in
.
These
receptors
are
found
in
the
skin
,
the
(
a
region
in
the
brain
that
helps
regulate
)
,
and
other
.
There
are
two
types
of
thermoreceptors
:
receptors
and
receptors
.
When
the
temperature
of
the
or
the
changes
,
these
receptors
send
signals
to
the
that
help
us
perceive
the
change
in
temperature
.
The
body
uses
thermoreceptors
to
help
maintain
a
body
temperature
.
In
addition
to
helping
regulate
body
temperature
,
thermoreceptors
also
play
a
role
in
our
sense
of
.
When
we
touch
something
that
is
hot
or
cold
,
the
thermoreceptors
in
our
skin
send
signals
to
the
brain
that
help
us
perceive
the
temperature
of
the
object
.
But
beware
,
sometimes
two
objects
with
the
can
be
perceived
differently
by
the
body
,
one
being
perceived
as
cold
and
the
other
as
hot
.
Thus
,
the
sensation
of
hot
and
cold
is
.

emotions
Smell
receptors
are
specialized
sensory
cells
located
in
the
of
the
cavity
.
These
receptors
are
responsible
for
detecting
and
processing
different
in
the
air
that
we
breathe
.
The
smell
receptors
are
also
known
as
olfactory
.
There
are
millions
of
olfactory
receptors
located
in
the
nasal
cavity
,
and
each
receptor
is
sensitive
to
a
particular
type
of
.
When
an
binds
to
an
receptor
,
it
triggers
a
series
of
that
generate
signals
.
These
signals
are
transmitted
to
the
brain
.
Our
sense
of
smell
is
closely
linked
to
our
sense
of
.
When
we
eat
or
drink
,
the
molecules
in
our
food
or
drink
stimulate
our
taste
buds
and
olfactory
receptors
simultaneously
.
This
is
why
some
foods
may
taste
different
when
we
have
a
cold
or
when
our
sense
of
smell
is
impaired
.
It
is
worth
noting
that
smell
receptors
are
also
involved
in
.
Certain
smells
can
trigger
or
,
and
this
is
because
the
olfactory
system
is
closely
connected
to
the
system
,
a
region
in
the
brain
that
is
associated
with
emotions
and
memory
.
This
is
why
certain
smells
can
elicit
strong
emotional
reactions
or
trigger
memories
from
our
past
.

Taste
receptors
are
specialized
cells
located
on
the
taste
in
the
tongue
and
other
parts
of
the
mouth
,
such
as
the
of
the
mouth
and
the
of
the
.
These
receptors
are
responsible
for
detecting
and
processing
different
tastes
,
such
as
,
,
,
,
and
(
)
.
There
are
of
taste
buds
in
the
mouth
,
and
each
taste
bud
contains
multiple
cells
.
When
we
eat
or
drink
,
molecules
in
the
food
or
drink
stimulate
the
taste
receptors
on
the
taste
buds
.
These
receptors
then
send
signals
to
the
brain
that
help
us
perceive
the
different
tastes
.
Each
taste
receptor
cell
is
sensitive
to
a
particular
type
of
taste
.
For
example
,
taste
receptors
are
activated
by
and
other
,
while
taste
receptors
are
activated
by
.
The
taste
buds
send
signals
to
the
brain
via
the
nerve
,
a
nerve
that
is
responsible
for
transmitting
taste
information
from
the
mouth
to
the
brain
.
The
brain
then
uses
this
information
to
identify
and
distinguish
different
tastes
.
Our
perception
of
taste
is
influenced
by
factors
such
as
,
,
and
.
For
example
,
some
people
may
be
more
sensitive
to
bitter
tastes
than
others
,
while
others
may
have
a
preference
for
sweet
or
salty
foods

Definition
:
Proprioception
is
our
body's
ability
to
know
our
different
are
,
needing
to
them
.
It
helps
us
move
around
without
bumping
into
things
or
falling
down
.
It's
like
having
a
"
"
in
our
brain
that
tells
us
where
our
arms
,
legs
,
and
other
body
parts
are
,
even
when
we
can't
see
them
.
Our
sense
of
balance
,
also
known
as
our
sense
,
is
responsible
for
in
the
and
movement
of
our
and
,
and
for
maintaining
our
body's
and
in
space
.
Our
sense
of
balance
is
made
up
of
three
main
components
:
the
,
the
,
and
the
.
The
is
located
in
the
inner
ear
and
consists
of
three
and
two
.
The
semicircular
canals
are
filled
with
fluid
and
are
oriented
in
different
planes
.
When
we
move
our
head
or
body
,
the
fluid
in
the
semicircular
canals
moves
,
and
this
movement
is
detected
by
hair
cells
in
the
canals
.
The
hair
cells
send
signals
to
the
brain
that
help
us
perceive
changes
in
our
head
position
and
movement
.
The
,
which
are
made
up
of
the
and
the
,
contain
small
crystals
called
that
move
in
response
to
changes
in
and
movement
.
When
the
otoliths
move
,
they
stimulate
hair
cells
in
the
otolith
organs
,
which
send
signals
to
the
brain
that
help
us
maintain
our
body's
stability
and
orientation
in
space
.
The
also
plays
an
important
role
in
our
sense
of
.
Our
eyes
send
visual
information
to
the
brain
about
our
surroundings
and
our
body's
position
in
space
.
This
information
is
integrated
with
information
from
the
and
systems
to
help
us
maintain
our
balance
.
The
,
which
includes
receptors
in
the
,
,
and
,
provides
information
to
the
brain
about
the
position
and
movement
of
our
limbs
and
body
.
All
of
these
systems
work
together
to
help
us
maintain
our
balance
and
coordinate
our
movements
.
When
any
one
of
these
systems
is
impaired
or
not
functioning
properly
,
it
can
lead
to
and
other
symptoms
such
as
,
,
and

Interoception
is
the
sense
that
helps
us
understand
and
what's
happening
our
body
.
It
allows
us
to
detect
signals
from
our
,
such
as
our
,
,
and
,
and
helps
us
to
understand
our
own
states
,
such
as
feeling
or
.
Interoception
also
allows
us
to
sense
changes
in
our
body
that
may
be
important
for
our
health
,
such
as
feeling
when
we
need
to
drink
water
.
It's
like
having
an
internal
"
"
that
keeps
us
connected
to
our
body
and
helps
us
take
care
of
ourselves
.
Interoception
works
by
sending
signals
from
our
body's
to
our
brain
,
which
then
interprets
these
signals
to
give
us
a
sense
of
what's
happening
inside
our
body
.
For
example
,
when
we
feel
,
our
stomach
sends
signals
to
our
brain
that
tell
us
we
need
to
eat
.
Similarly
,
when
we
feel
thirsty
,
our
body
sends
signals
that
tell
us
we
need
to
drink
water
.
Interoception
is
an
important
part
of
our
,
as
it
helps
us
to
understand
and
respond
to
our
body's
needs
.
It
also
plays
a
role
in
our
emotional
experiences
,
as
changes
in
our
internal
state
can
impact
our
mood
and
behavior
.
Interoception
can
be
improved
with
practice
,
such
as
through
exercises
or
activities
that
promote
body
awareness
,
like
or
.
By
paying
attention
to
our
body
and
our
,
we
can
become
more
attuned
to
our
own
needs
and
better
able
to
take
care
of
ourselves
.
