There are only 5 senses

The principle of 5 basic senses is traced back to Aristotle. However, despite its noble origin, this is only a myth. If sense is a way of the brain to obtain information about the world, more than 5 can be named. Hunger, thirst, and pain are often named as senses as they give us information about our body’s state. Additionally, we are in possession of temperature-sensitive and mechanical pressure receptors. This list can be continued depending on the definition of the sense we are using.
