Proprioceptors 

500

What are the sense organs in the human body? 

Skin, eyes, ears, tongue, and nose. 

500

The organ that serves as the primary control center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals 

Brain 

500

A decreased or limited ability to see colors.  Can be caused by the lack of development of some cones.  Can also be caused by damage to the eye, the optic nerve, or the brain.
