Define and discuss the general characteristics of sense organ
Answers
Sight - We have a pair of eyes. Like predators (which we are), our eyes are facing the front (to focus on prey), unlike the prey, who have eyes on both side of their heads to give them better field of view (for detection and avoidance of Prey)
Hearing - We have a pair of ears, on both side of the head. Our ears have evolved to sense vibrations in air, and convert them to audio signals for our brains to process and comprehend.
Taste - We have a tongue. A human tongue has between 2,000 to 10,000 taste buds. These tastebuds die and are replaced every few weeks throughout the life span of a human.
Smell - We have a nose. Similar to other human organs, it is a very specialized. Our nose helps us to breathe, moisturize the air, trap impurities (allergens, pollutants, etc.) from going into our lungs through nasal hair, and detects poisonous odors.
Touch - this is accomplished by the largest organ we have, i.e. Our skin.We have five sense organs in our body, and as the name suggests they help us to sense our surroundings and then our brain respond to them.
EYES : Provide us the ability to see.NOSE : Help us to smell different fragrances.
TONGUE : Allows us to taste different things.
EARS : Help us to hear everything in audible range.
SKIN : Help us to feel different things by touching them.
