Five senses of the human body


The perception of the world that surrounds human beings depends on sensory factors that enable us to capture the surrounding reality. They are called: touch, taste, smell, hearing, sight, according to the hierarchy established in the Middle Ages

A percepção do mundo que rodeia os seres humanos depende de factores sensoriais susceptíveis de captar a realidade envolvente. Denominam-se: tacto, gosto, olfacto, audição, visão; de acordo com hierarquia estabelecida na Idade Média.
