I have to disagree on some of these. For instance, a sense of temperature is not a sense, it is memory. If you were to find an alien and bring him to earth and ask what temperature it was, he wouldn't know how we measured ours. So, all it is is memory from feeling that temperature from before. Not a sense. Plus, balance is muscle memory, not a sense really.

Sense of temperature as in "does this feel hot or cold?" not specific units of measure. It's related to our sense of touch, but is distinctly different.
Sense of balance is a function of our inner ear, and tells us if we are tipping over, not upright, which way is down, etc. Muscle memory is just how we remember to walk without falling over, all while subconsciously using that sense as a guide. People who have an injury to their inner ear that spoils their sense of balance can have a lot of difficulty walking straight or even standing upright with only muscle memory to rely upon.
