How many senses does a human have?

Actually there are 6 senses, is search on my books that there are 6 senses, Sight, Hear, Taste, Smell, Touch and the last is our balance, Balance is actually is connected with our ear you know, so you know why we walk straight?, because of balance

In addition to the familiar five senses...scientists know of a sixth sense called proprioception. It's the sense of where your body is in space that allows you to touch your nose even with your eyes closed. Proprioception (PRO-pree-oh-ception) also informs balance and how to put one foot in front of the other to walk without looking at your fee

Most mammals have pretty much the same nervous system set up as we do.  \n\nThere might be a few differences in the number and size of some of the major sensory nerve bundles.  Humans don't have much in the way of an olfactory nerve, while other critters would have much larger nerves to carry more information.

hi, \ngo to this link.. its all about 6th sense http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/pto-20000701-000034.html

Tricky one, personally I'd say deaf because I just find some sights so amazing, so breath-taking, that I'd rather see them and not hear them if I had to make that choice.  You've always got your other senses, so to smell something might be almost as good as hearing it, as well as touching, etc.  It would be annoying though coz people could speak up on you, I guess that goes for either really.  Also, you wouldn't have much trouble sleeping if you could see but not hear, the other way round could be really frustrating.  \n\nUm, as for the second question, I think it depends which sense you lose.  If I lost my sight, I'd be devastated to no longer be able to see what I hold dear and it would grieve me to be unable to watch people grow, things change.  If I had been blind from birth I mightn't miss it so much.  With deafness though, at least if you had had some experience you'd know what things were supposed to sound like and could perhaps substitute certain sounds in your head.  \n\nBizarre, what a good question - very thought provoking (and a time waster, I'm supposed to be working!!!)\n\nBefore anyone says it, I meant no offence to anyone who is already deaf or blind.

Sure you can. The sense of smell is controlled by brain synapsis just like the ability to see or hear or really any other function of the body. If there is damage to these synapsis then you can lose this ability.

Relating to or having or hearing with two ears :\n\n"Binaural hearing".. it can be applied to others even..!!!!

atmosphere as applied to the 'sense' of a room or place is related to many factors, including:\ncolor schemes\ngathered people\nmood of said people\nair quality\nsmells\nnoise levels\nlight levels\nlight placement\netc etc\n\nI would sum it up as:\n"The interpreted perception of the local environment via the 5 human senses"\n\nHaving said all that - not sure what you're doing asking this in Earth Sciences.

Simple: Our skin has sensory nerves =)

The range of frequencies that humans can hear is approximately between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz.

You wouldn't have to.Their senses are better then are's that can see.They probably explain better then us that can see. They don't take all of the senses forgranted.

Perhaps, what consciousness is made of isn't quiet the right question.\n\nIn the human brain each neuron forms up to 15000 connections to other neurons, couple that with an average of 100 billion neurons in the human brain (forgive the limitation to our species as i do not speak cat) and you can begin to get a glimmer of the complexity of our CNS.\n\nBut it doesn't end there by any means, the human mind has five essential interactions with its environment, namely, sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell; it reacts to stimuli with excertions of hormones with varied physical effect, ranging from fear and anger to the emotional experience referred to as love, in its wildly faceted varieties.  \n\nit is in the interaction between perception and complexity that consciousness is formed.  there must be a process for deciding from a given set of stimuli what action of self preservation or gratification, on one level or another is required.  it must have the ability to learn.  and moreover it must be able to predict from previous experience the outcome of a given set of circumstances.  in short it must be aware.\n\nit can easily be argued that a computer, or similar such device, is capable of just this task, but a computer has never been infused with emotion biologically, nor has any computer nearly the raw processing ability of even a mouses's brain.\n\nperhaps the question that is more to the point is, what level of complexity and emotion are sufficient to develop consciousness.

I think there is a difference between 'feelings' and 'senses.' I am not sure if they feel happy or sad feelings...but they do sense pain and they do panic.

MATTER: THE OTHER NAME FOR ILLUSION\n\nIT IS A SCIENTIFIC FACT THAT THE WORLD COMES INTO EXISTENCE IN OUR BRAINS\n\nWe acknowledge that all the individual features of the world are experienced through our sense organs. The information that reaches us through those organs is converted into electrical signals, and the individual parts of our brain analyze and process these signals. After this interpreting process takes place inside our brain, we will, for example, see a book, taste a strawberry, smell a flower, feel the texture of a silk fabric or hear leaves shaking in the wind. \nWe have been taught that we are touching the cloth outside of our body, reading a book that is 30 cm (1 ft) away from us, smelling the trees that are far away from us, or hearing the shaking of the leaves that are far above us. However, this is all in our imagination. All of these things are happening within our brains. \nAt this point we encounter another surprising fact; that there are, in fact, no colors, voices or visions within our brain. All that can be found in our brains are electrical signals. This is not a philosophical speculation. This is simply a scientific description of the functions of our perceptions. In her book Mapping The Mind, Rita Carter explains the way we perceive the world as follows:\n\nEach one [of the sense organs] is intricately adapted to deal with its own type of stimulus: molecules, waves or vibrations. But the answer does not lie here, because despite their wonderful variety, each organ does essentially the same job: it translates its particular type of stimulus into electrical pulses. A pulse is a pulse is a pulse. It is not the colour red, or the first notes of Beethoven's Fifth—it is a bit of electrical energy. Indeed, rather than discriminating one type of sensory input from another, the sense organs actually make them more alike. \nAll sensory stimuli, then enter the brain in more or less undifferentiated form as a stream of electrical pulses created by neurons firing, domino-fashion, along a certain route. This is all that happens. There is no reverse transformer that at some stage turns this electrical activity back into light waves or molecules. What makes one stream into vision and another into smell depends, rather, on which neurons are stimulated.1 \n\nIn other words, all of our feelings and perceptions about the world (smells, visions, tastes etc.) are comprised of the same material, that is, electrical signals. Moreover, our brain is what makes these signals meaningful for us, and interprets these signals as senses of smell, taste, vision, sound or touch. It is a stunning fact that the brain, which is made of wet meat, can know which electrical signal should be interpreted as smell and which one as vision, and can convert the same material into different senses and feelings.

A sense is something that you USE to observe.  You USE your sight, you USE your hearing, you USE you touch, you USE your smell, and you USE your taste.  You can't USE your heat or USE your cold...it just doesn't make sense.  :o)  Fun question!  Hope this helps!

Loss of sense of smell is called "anosmia", so a person with this condition would be "anosmic".\n\nLoss of sense of taste is called "ageusia", so a person with this condition would be "ageusic".\n\nBecause the sense of taste requires the sense of smell, someone with anosmia usually has ageusia, too.
