Wewouldn't know when our body was damaged because we wouldn't feel pain., We mightfreze to death without even a shiver, or overheat without a drop of sweat, The five sen-ses touch, taste. smell, hearing and sight respund only to stimulation from the outsideworld, but the inside world of our bodies must also receive and respond to important messages,
Our internal senses keep us alive and enable us to use our external senses. In effect,the interal senses tell our brains how to run our bodies. Hunger or thirst register in a part of thebrain calll the hypothalamus (丘脑下部), when a lack of food chemicals are detected in the blood
Another internal sense that controls our balance is maintained by three fluid filldlloops in the inner ear. Changes in position and gravity affet the motion of this liquid andcause changes in the brain. A sense calle knsesis (肌肉运动知觉) lets us know therlaive postions of parts of our bodies.
