Taste
Proprioception - the sense that tells us where our body parts are in relation to each other
Kinaesthesia - sense that tells us how and when we are moving

Plus several physiological senses, for example graviceptors (gravity sensing), various chemical sensors, temperature sensors and fluid sensors in the blood vessels, and muscle tone/stretch receptors in the muscle spindles. Some of these are integrated into our vestibular system (balance and sensory integration system).
