Introduction
Senses are the physiological methods of perception. The
senses and their operation, classification, and theory are
overlapping topics studied by a variety of fields. Sense is a
faculty by which outside stimuli are perceived.

Explanations
We experience reality through our senses. A sense is a
faculty by which outside stimuli are perceived. Many
neurologists disagree about how many senses there
actually are due to a broad interpretation of the definition of
a sense. Our senses are split into two different groups. Our
Exteroceptors detect stimulation from the outsides of our
body. For example smell,taste,and equilibrium. The
Interoceptors receive stimulation from the inside of our
bodies. For instance, blood pressure dropping, changes in
the gluclose and Ph levels. Children are generally taught
that there are five senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell,
taste). However, it is generally agreed that there are at
least seven different senses in humans, and a minimum of
two more observed in other organisms. Sense can also
differ from one person to the next. Take taste for an
example, what may taste great to me will taste awful to
someone else. This all has to do with how our brains
interpret the stimuli that is given.
