Your Wonderful Senses

Its a summer day, and youre reading outside drinking

lemonade. You taste the sweet juice on your tongue. You see

the blue sky. You hear a bird chirping. The smell of fresh grass is

in the air. You feel the warmth of the sun on your skin.

Thanks to your senses, you are able to experience this

beautiful day. Your senses are responsible for all the sights,

sounds, and smells you experience. All the things you feel and

taste are yours to enjoy because of your wonderful senses.

It Begins in the Brain

smell

Your brain helps you make sense of the world. This happens

through the senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.

Your senses help you understand the changes around you.

When a traffic signal changes to red, you see it and stop. When

the weather turns chilly, you feel it and put on a jacket. You

hear noises that tell you someone is coming. You smell smoke,

and you know a fire is nearby. You taste something delicious,

and you want more.

Whatever you do, all

of your senses are at

work. What are you

seeing, hearing, smelling,

in the brain. They have

connections among them!

it sends messages throughout your body. It can do this because

of the nerve cells, called neurons (NOOR-ons), in your brain

and body.

Neurons carry the information gathered by the senses to the

brain. Then the brain interprets this information. Finally, the

brain tells the neurons to send messages to the parts of the body

that need to respond. This happens instantly. You don't even

know its happening. You are just aware of the results, and your

body is moving.

The Control

Center

Your brain is the control

center of the body. It sends

messages through the nerves

to different parts of the

body. Each nerve passes the

message to the next nerve

until it reaches the right place.

dominoes fall one after the

other? The brains messages
