Five Senses: Facts

Our senses allow us to learn, to protect ourselves, to enjoy our world. Can you imagine what it might be

like to live your life without any of your senses? The senses usually work together to give us a clear

picture of the things around us. If one sense is not working due to an accident or illness, then other

senses will take over or become stronger to make up for the missing sense.

The five senses are taste, sight, touch, smell, and hearing.

Taste

Our sense of taste comes from the taste buds on our tongue. These buds are alsocalled papillae (say: puh-pih-lee). But, the sense of smell also affects our taste.

The tongue is only able to taste four separate flavors: salty, sweet, sour and bitter.

But, you might as, how come different sweet foods taste different if there are

only four flavors! That"s because your favorite candy might be a combination of

sweet and salty. #nd the chips in your chocolate chip cooie could be a

combination of sweet and bitter. $verything you taste is one or more combinations

of these four flavors.

%ot only can your tongue taste, but it also pics up te&ture and temperature in

your food lie creamy, crunchy, hot or dry.

Sight


6/12

Our sense of sight is all dependent upon our eyes. # lens at the front of

the eyeball helps to focus images onto the retina at the bac of the eye. The retina

is covered with two types of light sensitive cells thecones and the rods. The

cones allow us to see color and the rods allow us to see better at night and also

aid us in our peripheral vision. #ll of this information is sent to the brain along

the optic nerve.

The images sent are actually upside down and our brain maes sense of what it

receives by turning the image right side up. The brain also uses the images from

two eyes to create a /0 (three dimensional) image. This allows us

to perceivedepth.

1ome people are not able to tell red colors from green colors. This is called color

blindness. Others, through inury or other conditions, have little to no sight at all.

Touch

The sense of touch is spread through the whole body. %erve endings in the sin

and in other parts of the body send information to the brain. There are four inds

of touch sensations that can be identified: cold, heat, contact, and pain. air on

the sin increase thesensitivity and can act as an early warning system for the

body. The fingertips have a greaterconcentration of nerve endings.

Smell

Our nose is the organ that we use to smell. The inside of the nose is lined with

something called themucous membranes. Thesemembranes have

smell receptorsconnected a special nerve, called the olfactory nerve. 1mells are

made of fumes of various substances. The smell receptors react with

the molecules of these fumes and then send these messages to the brain. Our

sense of smell is capable of identifying seven types of sensations. These are put

into these categories: camphor, mus, flower, mint, ether, acrid, or putrid. The

sense of smell is sometimes lost for a short time when a person has a cold. 0ogs

have a more sensitive sense of smell than man.

Hearing

Our ears, which help us hear, are made of two separate parts: theouter ear and

the inner ear. The outer ear is the part that others see. 3t wors lie a cup to catchsound as it travels past our heads. This part is made of cartilage and sin.4rom

here, sound travels to thetympanic membrane and then onto the inner ear via the

three smallest bones in your body. The inner ear is also called the cochlea and is a

spiral shaped tube which translatesvibrations into sound and sends that message

to the brain through the auditory nerve. The brain uses the sounds from both the

left and the right ear to determine distance and direction of sounds.
