explain how somatic senses can be grouped.?

Somatic senses are a series of senses put into groups such as touch, temperature, pain, and kinesthesia.

This is called the "sensory homunculus" and the "motor homunculus" diagrams.  Do a google image search for either of these terms:\n\nHere are many versions of the "sensory homunculus" diagram.\nhttp://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&q=sensory+homunculus&btnG=Search\n\nAnd here's the "motor homunculus" diagram:\nhttp://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&q=motor+homunculus&btnG=Search\n\nI found a version here:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigeminal_nerve#Touch.2FPosition_Sensation\n\nThe following page has a more explanatory version, but the above is more up-to-date:\nhttp://www.karger.com/gazette/67/Field/art_4.htm

1-Vision-allows us to see.\n2-Hearing-allows us to recieve audio information.\n3-Olfactory-allows us to understand through smelling.\n4-Taste-allows us to percieve foods that are sour and sweet.\n5-Feel-allows us to percieve physiollogical sensations.\n\nAll of these allow us to percieve and understand the world in a unique fashion.

My opinion is that no one will be able to answer your 'question' because it doesn't make sense in any known language.\n\nHowever, I will try.  Imagine a universe that is divided into two large groups.  \n\nThe members in group A include all 14 of your conditions and some others as well (e.g., 15 blue, 16 tall, etc).\n\nThe members of group B includes everything not included in group A.  \n\nItems 1 to 14 'may' be represented in some subsets of group A.  (Paragraph 1)\n\nNo members of group B will ever be represented in any subset of group A.  (Paragraph 2).

its called a flehmen response it helps smelling certain substances. See link for info so I don't have to write it all here.

It is called synesthesia. It seems to be more common in artistic types (be careful of drawing causal connections there--it could go either way).

Are you familiar with synethesia? An amusing confusion of the senses, so to speak.\n   (Orange. And wouldn't you like to know!)

Not too sure if you're interested in this type of stuff. http://www.getbodysmart.com\nhttp://www.gwc.maricopa.edu/class/bio201/brain/brshpx.htm\nalso the bbc.uk website has some interactive stuff where you have to match the parts to where they belong.

Well, its pretty much as crimsonmoonvc said.\n\nUnlike the spatial dimensions of perception, time is not directly accessable by any sensory organ. We precieve time by the unfolding of the events around us.

In the 1920s, at a time when conventional physiology only recognized five or six senses, Rudolf Steiner proposed that there were far more. He defined twelve senses; of these twelve, the first nine are now well-recognized: the equilibrioceptive (balance), proprioceptive (movement), nociceptive (sense of pain and wellness), tactile (touch), gustatory (taste), olfactory (smell), thermoceptive (warmth), visual and auditory senses. Steiner proposed three more senses as well: the sense of phoneme or language, the sense of thought and the sense of ego (the ability to recognize an ego outside of our own); he termed these three 'higher senses' that depended upon the healthy development of the foundational senses of balance, movement, pain/wellness and touch. Steiner's last three senses have not been confirmed by scientific research; in particular, sensory organs for them would have to be found.

Some people experience a phenomenon known as synaesthesia. That occurs when people perceive multiple senses in repsonse to one stimulus. For example, many synaesthetes report being able to smell the colors they see, even if there's no chemical around to cause them to smell something. It's just a quirk in their brain.\n\nI can "see" loud noises if my eyes are shut. Loud clattering and crashing sounds cause me to see a flash of white when my eyes are shut. Likewise, I perceive colors when I think of certain numbers. \n\n0 = white\n1 = black on a white field\n2 = yellow\n3 = green\n4 = light blue\n5 = red\n6 = brown\n7 = magenta\n8 = dark blue\n9 = brown

It's easier to list what the senses _can_ pick up than what they can't.\n\nA few that they can't:\n\nalpha particles\nbeta particles\ngamma rays\nx-rays\nin fact, almost the whole electromagnetic spectrum\nneutrinos\nelectric fields\nmagnetic fields\nstrong fields\nweak fields

A sense is something that you USE to observe.  You USE your sight, you USE your hearing, you USE you touch, you USE your smell, and you USE your taste.  You can't USE your heat or USE your cold...it just doesn't make sense.  :o)  Fun question!  Hope this helps!

sense of smell loss is refered to as - anosemia\nnot sure of the others

I'm not quite sure what you are asking, but I think the answer you want is that each ganglion contains the cell bodies of the sensory neurones.\nUnipolar motor neurones have their cell bodies within the spinal cord.

Somatic pathways send signals to your body that a person has conscious control over.  These pathways are responsible for moving muscles.  example: running, making a fist, moving your eyeball, etc.\nAutonomic pathways send signals to your body that a person does not have conscious control over.  These pathways are responsible for your reflexs.  example: when you stick your hand in a fire, your hand will pull back before your brain/consciousness sends a message to pull back the hand, heart beating, lungs breathing, etc.\n\nThe overall difference is the component parts of the pathways (what kind of neurons) and to what part of the brain the pathways lead to (motor cortex/etc or brainstem)

The first link below has a good description of the different lobes of the brain and the functional areas of the cerebral cortex (scroll down).\n\nThe second has a nice picture of the 'homunculus' showing the way body parts are 'mapped' in the sensory and motor areas of the cortex.
