What are the Sense Organs?

       The sense organs are specialized organs that help to perceive the world around us. They are an integral part of our lives. The sense organs are very essential to our existence as they enable us to perceive the environment. We have five sense organs, namely: the eyes- gives the sense of sight, the nose- gives the sense of smell, the skin- gives the sense of touch, the tongue- gives the sense of taste, and the ear- gives the sense of hearing. The Sense organs are those parts of the body that can detect a certain type of stimulus or change in the environment and the information is sent into our brain.

      The sense organs allow us to get a sense of the environment we are in. The nerves take up the information from the environment and make us perceive it. These organs allow us to interact with our environment very efficiently. The function of each sense is to help humans perceive the world so that we may make decisions about what is happening and what is needed in a situation.
