Yes, the obvious example is balance. You have a way to know which way you're pointing, yet it's not one of the five standard senses.

I think of it as devices rather than physical process sensors, which are the building blocks. You have cells that can detect things like mechanical pressure or specific chemicals, and you have actuators that can trigger sensors. They get mashed up by evolution to create devices like balance detectors.
