Sense OrgansSense Organs

A specialized organ such as eye, ear, tongue, nose or skin that is sensitive to a stimulus such as sound, light, smell, etc., is

known as a sense organ.

These organs collect information and send it to the brain through the sensory nerves. The brain then interprets the

information and tells us what we have sensed.

Eyes help us to see different things around us. They act like a camera and take a picture of the things that we look at. The picture is then sent to the brain which interprets it and tell us

what we have seen. The eyes are very sensitive and important part of the body.
