• Ear

• Eye

What part of the eye is responsible for focusing light?

• Retina

• Iris

• Lens

• Cornea

How does the nose contribute to the sense of taste?

• The nose enhances the sense of taste by providing olfactory input that combines with taste sensations.

• The nose only detects temperature, not flavor.

• The nose has no effect on taste perception.

• Taste is solely determined by the tongue's taste buds.

What is the function of the skin as a sense organ?

• The skin produces hormones that regulate body temperature.

• The skin acts as a barrier to prevent all sensations from being felt.

• The skin is primarily responsible for the production of vitamin C.

• The skin detects stimuli through sensory receptors, enabling the perception of touch, temperature, pain, and pressure.

Which sense organ helps us maintain balance?

• The nose

• The eyes

• The skin

• The inner ear

What are the different parts of the ear?

• Eardrum, cochlea, auditory canal

• Auricle, stapes, oval window

• Pinna, vestibule, tympanic membrane

• Outer ear, middle ear, inner ear

How do taste buds on the tongue work?

• Taste buds only detect temperature changes in food.

• Taste buds are responsible for detecting sound frequencies.

• Taste buds work by detecting chemicals in food and sending signals to the brain to perceive taste.

• Taste buds are located in the stomach and not on the tongue.

What is the role of the cornea in the eye?

• The cornea produces tears to keep the eye moist.

• The cornea regulates the pressure inside the eye.

• The cornea is responsible for color vision.

• The cornea focuses light onto the retina and protects the eye.

How do we perceive smells through the nose?

• The nose filters air but does not detect smells.

• We smell through taste buds on the tongue.

• Smells are perceived through the skin receptors.

• We perceive smells through olfactory receptors in the nose that detect odor molecules and send signals to the brain.
