Five Senses Facts
Name a food you absolutely love?
Did you know taste is one of the
five senses?
The five human senses in ABC order:
1. Hear- Sound waves enter our ears and travel through
our tiny ear canals that lead to the eardrum.
2. See- Light enters the eye through the cornea. That
light passes through the cornea and hits the eye lens. The light moves to the
retina and the optic nerve transmits the visual information to the brain.
3. Smell- We inhale air that contains odor. That air
binds to receptors inside our nose and then the odor messages get sent to our
brain.
4. Taste- When you eat, your saliva helps break down
your food. The receptor cells that are located in your taste buds sends
messages to your brain through your sensory nerves.
5. Touch- Our skin is the biggest organ on our body
and every part of our skin has touch receptors which travel along the sensory nerves
that connect to the spinal cord and the signals are sent to the brain.
Here is a tasty recipe
