Sense Organs are the organs in our body which enables information from the outside world to be received through specific receptors that are connected to the brain by the nerves. They are eyes, ears tongue, skin and nose. Sense organs absorb energy from a physical stimulus from the environment and the sensory receptors present in the sense organs convert this energy into neural impulses and gets carried to the brain for processing. We should take care of them by keeping them clean, by keeping them from harm and by eating the right food. However, many habits of modern life adversely affect the health of our sense organs. We discuss about such habits and its result through this seminar
