• The cornea covers the front of the eye. It is
transparent.
• The iris is the coloured part of the eye (brown, green,
blue,…) It controls the amount of light that enters the
eye.
• The pupil is in the centre of the iris. It is a hole and
light passes through the pupil to the inside of the eye.

light that passes through the pupil.

body because our whole body
is covered with skin.

hearing. We hear and distinguish
different types of sound: high,
low, soft or loud,…We also know
what direction a sound comes
from.

The parts of the ear
• The pinna (earflap) receives the sounds.
• The ear canal carries the sounds into the inside of the ear.
• The ear drum vibrates when the sounds arrive.

• The small bones pass these vibrations onto the cochlea in the
inner ear.

• The cochlea is the part of the ear where the sounds arrive.Then
the sound sensations are carried along the auditory nerve.
The sense organ of smell is
inside our nose. We can
distinguish lots of different
smells: minty, spicy, floral,…

The nostrils are the holes


where the air enters.

The olfactory region is inside


the nose. This area recognises
smells.
• The tongue is the organ of
taste. There are taste buds on
the surface of the tongue, they
give us information on different
flavours.
• The sense of taste lets us
detect many different flavours:
sweet, salty, sour and bitter.
