5 Senses

Humans have five basic senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste and
touch. ... The sensing organs associated with each sense send
information to the brain to help us understand and perceive
the world around us. People also have other senses in addition
to the basic five. (www.livescience.com)

 SENSE OF SIGHT is based on the transduction of light
stimuli received through the eyes and contributes to
visual perception. The visual system detects light on
photoreceptors in the retina of each eye that
generates electrical nerve impulses for the perception
of varying colors and brightness.

 SENSE OF TASTE The gustatory system or sense
of taste is the sensory system that is partially
responsible for the perception of taste. Taste is
the perception produced or stimulated when
a substance in the mouth reacts chemically
with taste receptor cells located on taste
buds in the oral cavity, mostly on the tongue.
