The Senses
The sense organs pick up information about your environment, change the information into nerve impulses, and send the impulses to your brain. Your brain then interprets the information.Your senses and brain working together enable you to respond to things in your environment.

Touch

Unlike vision, hearing, balance, smell, and taste, the sense of touch is not found in onespecific place. Instead, the sense of touch is found in all areas of your skin. Your skin is your largest sense organ! Your skin contains different kinds of touch receptors that respond to a number ofstimuli. These receptors that respond to light touch are in the upper part of the dermis. They tell you when something brushes against your skin. These receptors also let you feel the textures of objects,such as smooth glass and rough sandpaper.

Vision

Your eyes are the senseorgans that enable you to see the objects in your environment. First, the light strikes the cornea (A clear tissue that covers the front of the eye). The light then passes through a fluid-filledchamber behind the cornea and reaches the pupil (Is the opening through which light enters the eye). The size of the pupil is adjusted by muscles in the iris (A circular structure that surrounds the pupiland regulated the amount of light entering the eye). Light that passes through the pupil strike the lens (A flexible structure that focuses light). Then the light rays strike the retina ( A layer ofreceptor cells that lines the back of the eye).

Hearing
What wakes you up in the morning? Maybe an alarm clock buzzes, or perhaps your parent calls you. Your ears are the sense organs that...
