What if your eyes ears nose and tongue are?

It seems like your question might be incomplete. Can you provide more context or specify what you are asking about?


A friend of mine had intercourse on 5th day of menstruation seems like she is having vomiting sensation continuously after that but has not vomited what are the chances of getting pregnant?

The chances of getting pregnant from intercourse during the 5th day of the menstrual cycle are low but not impossible, as sperm can survive for up to 5 days in the female reproductive tract. The vomiting sensation may be unrelated to pregnancy and could be due to other factors such as food poisoning or a stomach bug. It is recommended to take a pregnancy test if there is a concern.


What is meant by the projection of a sensation?

It seems what you are thinking of is "referred pain", which is the feeling of pain in a location other than that of the injured part. For example, when a person's appendix becomes infected, the pain often presents in the upper abdomen or even in the shoulder. As the infection increases, the pain usually begins to localize more toward the actual site of irritation of injury..


What is a peplon?

It seems there may be a spelling error in your question. However, if you meant "peplum," it is a flared or ruffled piece of fabric that is attached at the waist of a dress, top, or jacket, creating a decorative element. Peplums can add shape and volume to an outfit.


How does your tongue detect sweetness?

Taste is detected by sensory receptors (chemoreceptors) in our taste buds, which cover the tongue but are also found in the soft palate of the mouth and the throat. The cranial nerves associated with taste are the glossopharyngeal (VII), facial (IX) and vagus (X) nerves. When the receptors in the taste buds are stimulated by food, impulses are sent along these nerves to the part of the brain where taste is perceived (in the parietal lobe) The area of the tongue which is thought to be most sensitive to sweet tastes is the tip.

Why do humans laugh when tickled?

The tickling response seems to be complex. The type of tickling response that brings laughter is different from the tickling sensation that is related to itching. There are two types of phenomena at work here. One is knismesis, which is a "moving itch" sensation. Most mammals and a lot of other animals have this. You can invoke this in yourself. The other phenomenon is called gargalesis. That is a harder type of tickling and which seems to generate laughter. It seems to be present only in humans, other primates, and perhaps rodents. This type of response seems to require another person. If you tickle yourself roughly in the sensitive areas, you will likely not feel much of anything. The tickle sensation seems to involve both the pain and touch receptors, and endorphin is released. But a certain amount of it may be a nervous reaction or a placebo effect, since the most "ticklish" of people tend to laugh or pull back before being tickled.

What is haptodysphoria?

Haptodysphoria is an unpleasant sensation experienced by some people when touching a certain type of material, specifically things like peach skins, velvet, or polyurethane foam. Contrary to some Internet sources, haptodysphoria does not refer to this sensation with other materials, such as sticky, ruff, crunchy, fuzzy, or metallic surfaces. The sensation is described as having one's "blood run cold" or as a "shiver down the spine", and seems to be accompanied by goosebumps, shaking, or similar physical agitation. Haptodysphoria is an acute sensation and has not been reported to effect many people.

What makes it solar energy renewable?

Technically, it isn't, but 5 billion years seems to be a long time so I guess it's renewable. The renewable aspect of solar energy comes from the "fact" that it's "limitless" and can be continuously harvested without fear of running out.
