Question Image

Match the following definitions to their vocabulary words.

a)

a sensory organ responsible for vision. It contains specialized structures like the cornea, lens, and retina that work together to capture light, focus it, and convert it into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain.

1.

Eye

b)

the body's largest sensory organ, responsible for the sense of touch. It contains various types of nerve endings that detect pressure, temperature, pain, and other sensations, sending signals to the brain for interpretation.

Skin

c)

an intricate network of nerve cells, or neurons, that transmits signals between different parts of the body. It is divided into the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which connects the CNS to the rest of the body.
