Final answer:

Special senses have specific organs dedicated to each sense, unlike general senses that rely on receptors throughout the body.


Explanation:

Special senses, unlike general senses, have specific organs dedicated to them such as the eyes for vision, ears for hearing, tongue for taste, and nose for smell. They do not involve receptors located all over the body like general senses that are associated with touch, pressure, and proprioception, which have receptors within other organs. Somatosensation, a general sense, encompasses touch, proprioception, and interoception with receptors spread throughout various body organs, not concentrated in specific sense organs.
