What 5 senses can be used in communication?

Generally speaking, there are five senses to communicate, including sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch. However, not all of them are used to communicate directly with others. Sight, hearing and touch are more often used in combination to communicate. Still sight is the strongest and dominates the other senses.

How are the 5 senses connected?

Your brain collects information, like smells and sounds, through your five senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. Each of your five senses has its own special sensor. Each sensor collects information about your surroundings and sends it to the brain.

How do our other senses affect each other?

Do we have 21 senses?
