This is simple. I will go through each one explaining the senses and their operations.

Vision: When we see you may ask; how does our vision not have bleeps or skips in it? Why do we see the very nanosecond we turn our heads? This is simple. In vision our brain uses our spatial and imagery memory. It also calculates from this memory what should be there. And lastly, it takes what we know and mixes everything together. At 200km an hour our brain sends the signals to the eyes, clicking or signalling our "colour-seeing" cells, found in theretina, to turn the image into a vibrant illuminating picture.


Hearing: Our ear drum sits deep in the ear canal. 2 of the bodies smallest bones tap the ear drum as sounds come in. High frequency sounds get processed in the bottom of the Cochlea and low frequency sounds on the top of the Cochlea. These small hairs, vibrate to the sound sending signals to the brain of the frequencies. The brain calculates these frequencies and sends them back to the cells, telling them what the sounds are.


Smell: Our noses can remember up to 10,000 smells. When we smell something, the chemicals in the substance travel up our nose. The only nerves that are exposed are found in the nose. The chemicals land on the nerves, immediately sending chemical signals to the brain. The brain uses our chemical or scent memory of each individual chemical. Then, it combines them together, allowing us to smell.


Taste: In our mouths we have taste buds. Each section of the tongue has an individual section for taste. For example, the back of the tongue tastes salt. When the saliva in our mouths break down the chemicals, they land on our taste buds. Our taste buds turn those chemicals into electrical signals to the brain. Our brain calculates the signals and uses our taste memory. The signals then travel back down to our taste buds, telling them to give our body a certainsensationwhen we taste.


Touch: Our skin is completely covered with touch receptors. These receptors hold nerve endings that are vulnerable to hot and cold (temperature), texture, electricity, and about everything we can get our hands on. These touch receptors send the sensations to our brain to be measured to a certain extent, calculated, then sent back down to the sensory area. If it is calculated as pain the brain causes us to pull away. If it is a texture out brain explores the surface, pulls away, and places the sensation in our memory.
