Same etymon as Sensation. A faculty, possessed by animals, of appreciating impressions from ex-ternal objects. The senses are five in number; sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. Of these, the first two and the last administer more to the intellect; and, hence, have been called by some, the intellectual senses; the other two seem more destined for the nutrition of the body: and, hence, have been termed corporeal or nutritive senses. Other senses have been suggested- as the intense sensation experienced during the venereal act; a sense of heat and cold; a muscular sense, a common sense or coenaesthesis, &c.
