The 5 sense organs in our body are EYES, TONGUE, NOSE, EARS and SKIN. These sense organs help us to see, taste, smell, hear and touch.

Eyes • We see with our eyes. Our eyes enables us to see the world around us. • Our eyes act like a camera. They detect moving images and colours and sends it to the brain. • The brain then tells us what we see.

Nose • We breathe through our nose. • We also smell different things around us with the help of our nose. • The brain tells us whether the smell is pleasant or not. • The two holes in your nose are called nostrils.

Skin • The skin is the outer covering of our body. • It protects the internal organs, bones and muscles of our body. • The skin helps us to feel by the sense of touch. • The skin is the largest organ in the human body.

Ears • We hear with the help of our ears. • Sounds reach our ears as vibrations. • They receive different kinds of sounds and send messages to our brain. • The brain tells us what we hear and where the sound comes from.

Tongue • The tongue helps us to speak and taste things. • There are taste buds in the tongue, which help us to decide whether something is salty, sour, sweet or bitter.
