The sensory system
• Humans have five sense organs; eyes, ears, nose, skin and tongue
• The central nervous system is composed of the brain plus the spinal cord. • Its function is to rapidly transmit messages to and from the brain to all other parts of body and to coordinate the body’s response. • The spinal cord carries signals to and from the brain in the form of electrical impulses.
The tongue
Sensory nerves carry signals from sensory organs towards the brain / central nervous system
Motor nerves carry signals away from the brain / central nervous system to the muscles
Communication between sense organ and brain • The sensory organ (e. g. the eye) receives a stimulus (e. g. sunlight). • A message is sent from sense organ to brain or spinal cord via a sensory nerve. • The brain or spinal cord decides what to do (e. g. reduce size of iris) then sends a message along the motor nerves to the muscles and glands which cause them to respond

Part Function Cornea Allows light to pass into the eye Iris Controls the amount of light that enters the eye (it acts like a shutter) Lens Focuses light on the retina Pupil Opening through which light enters the back of the eye Retina Absorbs light and produces nerve impulses Optic nerve Carries messages from the eye to the brain Ciliary muscle Changes the shape of the lens when we look at near or far objects
