There are five sense organs and they each do something amazing for your body. The sense organs are your eyes, ears, tongue, nose and skin.
The Sense of Sight
Your eye is your sense of sight. First, light enters the eye through the cornea. The cornea sends the light to the pupil, the dark center of the eye.
The Sense of Hearing
you may not notice that the air vibrates when the sound id made. your ears, however, do notice. eardrum vibrations cause three small bones in the middle ear to vibrate. these bones- the hammer, anvil, and srirrup- pass the vibrations to a snailed organ in the inner ear.
The Sense of Smell and Taste
Both your tongue and your nose contain receptor cells, or cells that receive information. The receptor cells in your nose send messages thorough the nerves. Your tongue can only recognize four different kinds of tastes. The four tastes are sweet, salty, sour, and bitter.
The Sense of Touch
Your skin, your sense organ for touch , is your body's largest organ. Sense receptors all over your skin receive receive different sensations.

∙ 12y agoTraditionally, the five special senses have been defined as taste, smell, sight, hearing and feeling. However, touch is now considered to reflect the activity of the general senses, and equilibrium, or balance, can be thought of as a new fifthspecial sense. In contrast to the general sensory receptors, most of which are modified dendrites of sensory neurons, the special sensory receptors are distinct receptor cells. They are either localised within complex sensory organs such as the eyes and ears, or within epithelial structures such as the taste buds and olfactory epithelium.
The principle function of the special sensory receptors is to detect environmental stimuli and transduce their energy into electrical impulses. These are then conveyed along sensory neurons to the central nervous system, where they are integrated and processed, and a response is produced.
As part of the Physiome Project, the Eye Modelling Research Group at the Bioengineering Institute is aiming to develop an anatomically based and biophysically accurate integrated model of the eye. The initial stage of this project is to model fluid flow in the mammalian lens. The completed model will includes a range of spatial and temporal scales, from the level of the protein and cell, to the whole organ, and ultimately it will be integrated with other the organ systems in the Auckland Bioengineering Institute's virtual human.

∙ 14y agoSpecial sense organs are organs in which high concentrations of similar and unique neurones are found together and rellay the information back to the brain for conscious processing. This includes things like the eyes and ears. For clarrification i should note that they are not special organs the "special" is in refference ot the sense istelf.

What is the function of lateral line sense organ?
To sense electrical fields.
How does snake smell?
A snake doesn't really 'smell' to say the least. They have a special organ in the nasal cavity of their skulls called the Jacobson's Organ. When they flick their tongue out, they use that organ to sense any nearby prey or threat. So in a sense, they 'smell' while they taste the air.
What is the largest sense organ?
The largest sense organ in the human body is the skin. The skin is not only the body's largest organ but also a complex sensory organ. It contains a vast network of receptors for various sensory experiences, such as touch, pressure, temperature, and pain. These sensory receptors allow us to perceive and respond to our external environment, making the skin a crucial sensory organ for our survival and well-being.

Do komodo dragons have a special nose?
Komodo dragons do not have a particularly keen sense of smell in their nose. However, a Komodo dragon has a special organ in the roof of its mouth called a Jacobson's organ, which senses chemicals in the air. This sense of smell allows Komodo dragons to detect carrion from up to 2.5 to 5.9 miles away.
Is the brain a organ?
The brain is a organ. The brain is the organ that receives messages from the six senses; the touch sense, the seeing sense, the hearing sense, the smelling sense and the tasting senses. If you are asking 'Is the brain the largest organ?' Well, no. The largest organ is not the brain, or the chest, or the stomach. It is the skin.
