Gifted people working in perfume laboratories have extremely well developed smell organs. Our touch organs are relatively underdeveloped, except in musicians and other people where touch is part of their profession. Generally speaking, Western doctors can feel only one pulse. In contrast, Chinese doctors can determine a great deal more about the functioning of your body by feeling six different pulses. Each pulse in connected to two of the major organs in your body.
Cats have a very sensitive sense of touch in the hairs on their faces.
Apart from the five senses we have already discussed, there are also senses which serve other functions. We have, for example, the sense of equilibrium which enables us to maintain our balance at all times. Everybody, having had experiences with boat rides or earthquakes, has become aware of this sense. We can sense temperature changes or when we are hungry and thirsty. We can also sense if a person or an animal approaches us from behind.
