The 5 Senses
The Eye
The Ear
The Nose / Mouth
Touch / Nervous System
100

This sense is realized through the ear and allows your to listen to your favorite music.

HEARING

100

This muscular part in the front of the eye is where the color can be found. 

IRIS

100

What are the three main parts of the ear? 

OUTER EAR, MIDDLE EAR, INNER EAR

100

The nose has two of these separated by the nasal septum. 

NOSTRILS

100

This is the organ used for touch and is the largest organ of the human body. 

SKIN

200

This sense is realized with the tongue and allows you to enjoy your favorite foods like pizza and ice cream.

TASTE

200

This nerve in the back of the eye sends signals to the brain that are picked up by cellular receptors. 

OPTIC NERVE

200

When we hear sounds, sonar vibrations hit this part of the middle ear as soon as it travels through the ear canal. 

EARDRUM

200

These organs found on the tongue have receptors that help us taste. 

TASTE BUDS

200

These form the nervous system and transmit nerve impulses. 

NEURONS

300

This sense that is realized through the eyes is allowing you to see this clue. 

SIGHT

300

This part of the eye at the center of the iris gets bigger when it's dark and smaller when it's very bright. 

PUPIL

300

This is the part of the ear that is responsible for converting vibrations from the eardrum into nerve impulses before being sent to the brain. 

COCHLEA

300

This nerve identifies different smells. 

Olfactory Nerve

300

The part of the skin that recognizes different kinds of stimulus, such as pain or heat. 

RECEPTORS

400

This sense that is realized through the nose lets you know when your mom is cooking your favorite food or when you need to take a shower. 

SMELL

400

This membrane in the back of the eye contains the cellular receptors that pick up the nerve impulses that are sent through the optic nerve. 

RETINA

400

Signals from the semicircular conductors are sent through this nerve to the brain. 

VESTIBULAR NERVE

400

These nerves send information from the taste buds to the brain to help us identify flavor. 

TASTE NERVES

400

This part of the neuron has a long extension that conducts electrical impulses away from the nerve cell body. 

AXON

500

This sense is realized using the largest organ of the human body. 

TOUCH

500

Found in the front of the eye behind the iris, this part of the eye changes in order to focus the image on the retina. 

LENS

500

Semicircular conductors found in the inner ear are responsible for sending signals to the brain that are responsible for ____________. 

BALANCE / MOVEMENT

500

This organ that is found at the top of the nostrils is covered with receptors that sense substances in the air. 

PITUITARY

500

These tree-looking structures that are found in neurons have shorter extensions and are made to receive communications from other cells.
