of your body. These parts are called sense organs. An organ is a
part of your body that does a specific function or work. There are
many organs in your body. Your sense organs are only some of
these. The sense organs are your body’s windows. Through your
sense organs, you come to know what is happening around you.
Each sense organ has a function or work.
