While your other four senses (sight, hearing, smell, and taste) are located in specific parts of the body, your sense of touch is found all over. This is because your sense of touch originates in the bottom layer of your skin called the dermis. The dermis is filled with many tiny nerve endings which give you information about the things with which your body comes in contact. They do this by carrying the information to the spinal cord, which sends messages to the brain where the feeling is registered.
The nerve endings in your skin can tell you if something is hot or cold. They can also feel if something is hurting you. Your body has about twenty different types of nerve endings that all send messages to your brain. However, the most common receptors are heat, cold, pain, and pressure or touch receptors. Pain receptors are probably the most important for your safety because they can protect you by warning your brain that your body is hurt!
Some areas of the body are more sensitive than others because they have more nerve endings. Have you ever bitten your tongue and wondered why it hurt so much? It is because the sides of your tongue have a lot of nerve endings that are very sensitive to pain. However, your tongue is not as good at sensing hot or cold. That is why it is easy to burn your mouth when you eat something really hot. Your fingertips are also very sensitive. For example, people who are blind use their fingertips to read Braille by feeling the patterns of raised dots on their paper.

What else can I help you with?
Individuals interpret what their senses detect using?
They use the parts of their brains which the sense organs send information to.
What transmits messages from sense organs and the environment?
The nervous system transmits messages from sense organs and the environment to the brain through electrical and chemical signals. Sensory neurons are responsible for detecting stimuli and relaying information to the brain for processing and response.
What function do sense organs serve?
Sense organs detect external stimuli such as light, sound, taste, smell, and touch and then send signals to the brain, which processes this information to create perceptions and reactions. These organs help us interact with and respond to our environment, contributing to our survival and well-being.
What do you mean by sense organs in simple language?
Sense organs are the structures that tell you about your surroundings. For instance:- Eyes (seeing) Nose (smelling) Taste touch Hot/cold balance hearing etc.
Do all our sense organs have nerves in them?
Yes, all sense organs have nerves in them. Nerves are responsible for transmitting signals from the sense organs to the brain, allowing us to perceive and interpret various stimuli from our environment.
What sense organs send information about the environment to the?
The Brain

How do tongue's sense organs send messages to the brain?
Taste Buds
Which four sense organs send nerves right into the brain?
The eyes (vision), ears (hearing), nose (smell), and tongue (taste) send nerves directly to the brain to process sensory information. These sense organs have specialized receptors that detect stimuli from the environment and convert them into signals that are transmitted to the brain for interpretation.
What system receives information from sense organs and analyzes that information?
Central
What are bits of information you gather with your sense organs?
observations

What can your sense organ do?
Sense organs are primarily responsible for collecting information about the world and delivering that information to the brain for processing and analysis.
What is the purpose of the CNS?
to receive information from the sense organs,analyze the information,and initiate responses.
