We'll talk about that next week. Some sense organs respond to mechanical forces. You also have a sense called proprioception that tells you where your body is and what it's doing. Close your eyes then raise your hand in the air. That's because your sense of proprioception sends you that information.
Some sense organs respond to changes in temperature .
Now count up how many senses we've talked about. Before lab next week, I'd like to tell you a little background information about some of the senses we'll be investigating. Let's start with taste. Everyone knows that taste buds , the sense organs for taste, are located on your tongue. Many of you probably know, also, that there are four different types of taste buds located in different regions of the tongue.
