What are the five main human sense organs?

• Brain

• Hands

• Heart

• Eyes, Ears, Nose, Tongue, Skin

• Feet

Which sense organ is primarily responsible for vision?

• Ear

• Eye

• Skin

• Nose

What type of receptors are found in the skin?

• Mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, nociceptors, proprioceptors

• Electroreceptors

• Photoreceptors

• Chemoreceptors

How do taste buds contribute to the sense of taste?

• Taste buds absorb nutrients from food directly.

• Taste buds are responsible for the smell of food.

• Taste buds detect flavors by sending signals to the brain when food molecules bind to their receptors.

• Taste buds only detect sweetness and nothing else.

Which sense organ is involved in hearing?

• Eye

• Ear

• Nose

• Skin

What is the role of the olfactory bulb in the sense of smell?

• The olfactory bulb produces hormones that regulate smell.

• The olfactory bulb is responsible for processing and interpreting smell signals from the olfactory receptors.

• The olfactory bulb is responsible for taste sensation.

• The olfactory bulb filters out harmful odors before they reach the brain.

How do the eyes adjust to different lighting conditions?

• The eyes rely solely on the brain to interpret light levels.

• The eyes do not adjust to lighting conditions at all.

• The eyes adjust by changing the shape of the lens only.

• The eyes adjust by changing pupil size and adapting photoreceptors to light levels.

What is the function of the cochlea in the ear?

• The cochlea amplifies sound waves before they reach the brain.

• The cochlea produces earwax to protect the ear.

• The cochlea regulates balance and spatial orientation.

• The cochlea functions to convert sound vibrations into electrical signals for the brain to interpret as sound.

How do sensory neurons transmit information to the brain?

• Sensory neurons transmit information by releasing hormones into the bloodstream.

• Sensory neurons transmit information to the brain by converting stimuli into electrical signals that travel through the nervous system.

• Sensory neurons only transmit information when stimulated by light.

• Sensory neurons send signals directly to the heart for processing.

What is the significance of the sense of touch in human interaction?

• Touch is irrelevant in modern communication.

• The sense of touch is primarily used for navigation.

• The sense of touch only serves a biological function.

• The sense of touch is significant in human interaction as it fosters emotional connections, conveys empathy, and enhances communication.
