 Perception - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Along with these there are at least four other senses: proprioception (body awareness), equilibrioception (balance), thermoception (heat) and nociception (pain).
Beyond these, some believe in the existence of other senses such as precognition (or foretelling) or telepathy (direct communication between human minds/brains without transmittance through any other medium).
The classical five senses are sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch.

 Physics Help and Math Help - Physics Forums - How many actual senses...
I don't think it's appropriate to regard equilibrioception (sense of balance) as merely a certain kind of tactile sense, as has been suggested, since if we accept this claim then we should also regard hearing as a kind of tactile sense.
The three types of pain receptors are cutaneous (skin), somatic (joints and bones) and visceral (body organs).
Equilibrioception is the perception of balance and is related to cavities containing fluid in the inner ear.

 Statocyst
Deflection of seta by the statolith in response to gravity activates neurons, providing feedback to the animal on change in orientation and allowing balance to be maintained.

 Equilibrioception - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Equilibrioception in many marine animals is done with an entirely different organ, the statocyst, which detects the position of tiny calcareous stones to determine which way is "up".
This causes a form of motion sickness called space sickness.
It is determined by the level of fluid properly called endolymph in the labyrinth - a complex set of tubing in the inner ear.

 Gentamicin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gentamicin can cause deafness or a loss of equilibrioception in genetically susceptible individuals.
These individuals have a normally harmless mutation in their DNA, that allows the gentamicin to affect their cells.
Like all aminoglycosides, gentamicin does not pass the gastro-intestinal tract, so it can only be given intravenously or intramuscularly.
