Sensational
The human body has five senses that allow us to perceive and interact with the world around us: sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. Sight, or vision, is the sense that enables us to see colors, shapes, and movements through the eyes. Hearing, or audition, is the sense that allows us to detect and interpret sound waves through the ears. Touch, or somatosensation, is the sense that gives us the ability to feel pressure, temperature, and texture through the skin. Taste, or gustation, is the sense that lets us perceive different flavors and distinguish between sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami tastes through the tongue. Finally, smell, or olfaction, is the sense that enables us to detect and distinguish various odors through the nose. Together, these senses provide us with a rich and complex experience of the world around us.
