Five senses (sense organs) in human body: Activities, craft ideas, school projects

Here are the five Sense Organs in Human Beings — eyes, ears, tongue, skin, and nose. These sense organs contain receptors that relay information through sensory neurons to the appropriate places within the nervous system. These sense organs help protect the body.

Are there more sens organs?

Some scientist argue that humans have more than 5 sense organs (seven to be precise). So besides sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch, they also mention Pressure. Itch.

• Eyes: They are a pair of organs on our face below the forehead. Eyes help us to see things and people around us.
• Nose: It is a long, thin, pointed organ in the middle of the face, above the mouth. We breathe and smell through our nose.
• Tongue: It is a large, pink, soft organ inside the mouth. We taste, speak, lick, and swallow with the help of our tongue.
• Ears: They are two organs, one on each side of the head. We hear sounds like music and speech through our ears.
• Skin: It is the natural outer layer or cover of a human body, an animal, a fruit, etc. The skin is the largest organ of our body.
