The Five Sense Organs in Human Beings. The sense organs — eyes, ears, tongue, skin, and nose — help to protect the body. The human sense organs contain receptors that relay information through sensory neurons to the appropriate places within the nervous system.
Senses are important because they help us understand the environment around us. Stimuli are signals that trigger the senses. ... Each sense organ includes receptors that capture relevant stimuli for transmission to the brain. The receptors in the skin are mechanoreceptors and thermoreceptors.
