Sense organs
- 2. The 5 sense organs in our body are EYES, TONGUE, NOSE, EARS and SKIN. These sense organs help us to see, taste, smell, hear and touch.
- 3. Eyes • We see with our eyes. Our eyes enables us to see the world around us. • Our eyes act like a camera. They detect moving images and colours and sends it to the brain. • The brain then tells us what we see.
- 4. Nose • We breathe through our nose. • We also smell different things around us with the help of our nose. • The brain tells us whether the smell is pleasant or not. • The two holes in your nose are called nostrils.
- 5. Skin • The skin is the outer covering of our body. • It protects the internal organs, bones and muscles of our body. • The skin helps us to feel by the sense of touch. • The skin is the largest organ in the human body.
- 6. Ears • We hear with the help of our ears. • Sounds reach our ears as vibrations. • They receive different kinds of sounds and send messages to our brain. • The brain tells us what we hear and where the sound comes from.
- 7. Tongue • The tongue helps us to speak and taste things. • There are taste buds in the tongue, which help us to decide whether something is salty, sour, sweet or bitter.
- 8. An adult eyeball is about the size of a golf ball, but most of it is hidden inside the head. The taste of food, is detected by sensory cells called taste buds. These are located on top of the tongue. There are five basic tastes: sweet, bitter, sour, salty and savoury. Did you know?
