Why do cookies taste so good, flowers smell so sweet, and loud noises starle us? This is all because of our senses, sending signals to the brain to interpret external sensations and experiences. Our senses allow us to interact with the world and each other.
In this course you will learn about the sense organs, the eyes, the ears, the tongue, the skin, and the nose.
