3 Senses You Didn't Know You Had

The video explores senses beyond the traditional five, focusing on thermoception, proprioception, and equilibriaception. Thermoception involves sensing temperature changes through Tripp channels, while proprioception allows body awareness through specialized receptors. Equilibriaception, crucial for balance, relies on the vestibular system in the inner ear. These senses help us navigate our environment safely, despite not being part of the classic list.

What is thermoception and why is it important for our body?

Discuss the importance of proprioception in daily activities.

Explain the role of the cerebellum in proprioception.

How do the semicircular canals contribute to our sense of balance?

What are the potential consequences of problems with the vestibular system?
