The document discusses the five basic senses - sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. It provides information on the structures and functions of the nose, tongue, and skin as the main sense organs. The nose contains nostrils and nasal cavity to smell odors through olfactory nerves. The tongue contains taste buds and papillae to sense the five basic tastes of salty, sweet, umami, bitter through the gustatory nerve. The skin contains cutaneous nerves to sense touch. The document also contains a quiz with questions on the different parts of the sense organs and which nerves are involved in each sense.
