Taste
We use our tongue to taste
The tongue is covered with about 10,000 very tiny bumps called taste buds. Taste buds on different parts of the tongue taste different things; sweet, sour, salty, and bitter.
Sight
We see with our eyes.
The eyes work like a camera. They take in light from the thing we are looking at and make a tiny picture of it on the back of the eyeball. Nerves inside the eyes take a message to the brain about the picture.The brain tells us what it is we are looking at.
Some people have vision impairment, meaning they cannot see very well or cannot see at all.
Touch
We use our hands/ skin
to touch and feel.
Some people have difficulties seeing colours. This is called colour blindness. There are different kinds of colour blindness.
Nerve endings in the skin send messages
to the brain that tell us about what we are
touching, such as whether it is warm,
hot, cold, painful, soft, prickly, rough, sticky.
