People enjoy tasting food, listening to music, touching a puppy's fur, smelling flowers, and watching movies. These activities are possible because of five important organs: tongue, nose, skin, eyes, and ears. Each sense organ has special parts and cells that allow it to work. These organs do more than help your enjoy the world. They send very important information to your brain every second. This information helps you to stay healthy.

1. List each of your five sense organs and what each one allows you do to?









2. What do the sense organs send to your brain and how often do they do it?








3. What does the information the sense organs send to your brain do?

Your tongue is covered with sensory neurons that sense taste. These neurons are contained in taste buds. You have four kinds of taste buds; sour, sweet, salty, and bitter. Much of your sense of taste is really smell. As you eat, scents from your food enter your nose. Smells are picked up by sensory neurons in the nose. These cells have long, hair-like structures. The hair-like structures are connected to nerves. These nerves carry messages to the brain. The brain interprets the smell.

1. How many kinds of taste buds do you have, what are they, and what is much of your sense of taste?







2. What happens when you eat, what are smells picked up by, and what do these cell have?







3. What are the hair-like structures connected to, where do the nerves carry messages to, and what interprets the smell?
