 The sensory system detects signals from the
outside environment and communicates it to
the body via the nervous system. The sensory
system relies on specialized sensory receptor
cells that transduce external stimuli into
changes in membrane potentials.

ASSIGNM E NT

The sense organs allow us to

perceive the world. Hence, caring
for the sense organs is important.
Your assignment is, choose one
sensory organ and list down tips for
caring this organ.
Thank
Have a nice day!

you!
