	Pretty sure you mean "Organs", not "Orgasn"...otherwise good quiz...didn't know that touch, pain, and pressure were considered different

	fixed, thank you and yes they are

	Nice, surprised I got them all. Only thing I can recommend is using more alternative answers (ie. nociception -> pain).

	I second accepting nociception for pain. Good quiz

	Good quiz! I'm just a bit confused - could someone explain in what way "touch" is different to "pressure". And doesn't proprioception count as a sense? (Though i don't know what the organ would be - skin maybe?)

	nociception is done, 2 resons i didnt put proprioception in 1 its verrrry obscure 2 i couldnt think of what organ to put it as, i hope this quells any annoyance

	I think "vestibular" would be an appropriate alternate for balance, and maybe you can consider "kinesthetic", although that might be hard to place a specific organ.

	Cool quiz. I'm surprised I got all.

	4th grade lied to me! Only five senses my butt!

	Yeah I would find some spot for vestibular and kinesthetic. And I always thought temperature (thermoception) and pressure fell under the category of touch

	I would try to find a better source than Wiki. Cool quiz though.

	Add a bonus answer: Common sense and organ: brain:P yea.. my teacher lied to me.:(

	proprioception could go in as skin/muscles etc

	max123:	Nov 30th, 2009 at 19:09 GMT	0 points
	lol ears for acceleration - that would be a cool olympic sport

	You forgot kinesthetic sense.

	leob:	Dec 6th, 2009 at 23:09 GMT	1 point
	Proprioception is different from pressure and its sensors are in the joints - that's how you can touch your nose with your eyes closed.

	HBar:	Dec 7th, 2009 at 15:53 GMT	1 point
	The "organs" for proprioception would be a combination of muscles, ligaments, and inner ear.

	Secret_Asian_Man:	Dec 8th, 2009 at 01:46 GMT	1 point
	You should allow olfaction, kinesthetic, vestibular, gustation, and haptic as possible responses.

	The senses that almost seems to be omitted from such lists, and Wiki is never a good source, are the ones you get a few hours after you satify your hunger and thirst. Namely, what do you call the senses of needing to evacuate your rectum or your bladder?, and they are quite clearly not the same as generally you know when you just need to urinate!
