521 - How do our senses help us gather information?

Our senses help us gather information about the world around us by sending messages to our brain. Here's how each sense works:

  1. Eyes (Sight): They see things and send pictures to the brain.
  2. Ears (Hearing): They pick up sounds and send messages to the brain.
  3. Nose (Smell): It catches scents and sends messages to the brain.
  4. Tongue (Taste): It tastes food and drinks, and sends messages to the brain.
  5. Skin (Touch): It feels things like temperature, pressure, and texture, and sends messages to the brain.

All these messages are combined in the brain, which helps us understand and make sense of the world around us.
