SENSORYORGAN AND THEIR
FUNCTIONS
Human have five sensesThe five senses are sight, hearing, touch, tasteand smellThe five senses are found in parts of the bodycalled sensory organWe respond to stimulus in a few stepsFirst, the stimulus is detected by the sensoryorgan.A message is the sent to the brain through thenerveThe brain interprets the message and help youunderstand what is going around you.The brain decides what to do and sends anothermessage through the nerve to some other bodyparts.Upon receiving the message your body respondsto the stimulus

SENSES OFTOUCH
Our skin is the sensory organ that gives us thesense of touch.
It contains receptors that detect touch,pressure, heat and cold and pain.
Touch and pressure receptors detect touch.Heat and cold receptors detects the
temperature around the skinPain receptors are different than otherreceptors because the amount of receptors in
the skin is different depending on the part ofbody

SENSES OF SMELL
Our nose is the sensory organ for smell.It can detect at least 20 different smells
Smells are carried by certain chemicals gothrough our nose. It will then dissolve in thelayer of moisture that covers the smellreceptors on the upper part of the nose. Thedissolved chemicals stimulate the smell
receptors. The simulated smell receptors thensend messages to the brain.

SENSE OF TASTE
Our tongue is the sensory organ that gives usthe sense of taste.
Sensory cells that detect taste are called tastereceptors.
Taste receptors can detect sweet, sour, saltyand bitter.
When we drink or eat, dissolved substance inour mouth are detected by the taste receptorsin our tongue. Messages are the sent to ourbrain through nerves

SENSE OF HEARING AND SOUND
Our ear is the sensory organ for the sense ofhearing.
The hearing mechanism1. The pinna collects sound waves and
directs it down the ear canal.
2. The sound waves heads towards theeardrum. The sound waves hits the eardrum causing it to vibrate.
3. The vibration causes a chain of tiny ear
bones to vibrate.4. As the last ossicle is connected to theoval window, the vibrations of the ossiclealso causes the oval window to vibrate.

5. As the oval window moves in and out itcauses the fluid in the cochlea to vibrate aswell.
6. The cochlea detects the vibrations and
responds by sending the messages to thebrain through the auditory nerves.
7. Messages sent through the auditory nervesreach the rain which then interprets the
messages as sounds.Parts Of HumanEar FunctionPinna Collects sound waves and then
directs the sound down the ear canal
Ear Canal Directs the sound waves to the eardrum
Eardrum Sound waves in the ear strike againstthe eardrum and causes it to vibrate
Ossicles The vibrating eardrum causes the
chain of ear bones to vibrate. Thelast vibrating ear bone vibrate againsta membrane called the oval window.
Oval Window As the oval window vibrates, itmakes the fluid In the cochleavibrate.
Cochlea The cochlea detects the vibration andconverts them into nerve impulse
Auditory nerves Send messages to the brain whichinterpret the message as sounds

Defects Of Hearing. Our ear is a very delicate sensory organ. It
can be easily damaged leading to defects inour hearing. Humans are said to have defects
if they cannot hear certain sounds. Limitations Of Hearing. We cannot hear all the sounds around us.
Different people have different limitations of
hearing Stereophonic Hearing Hearing with two ears enables us to tell
which direction the sound is coming from.
Stereophonic hearing involves the use of twoears.

SENSE OF SIGHT AND LIGHT Our eyes are the sensory organ for sight.
How do we see? 1. When the light from an object enters the
eye, it first passes through he cornea wherethe light is slightly bent
2.The bent light then passes through aliquid behind the cornea and reaches thepupil. The pupil is the opening throughwhich the light enters the eye.
3.Light then passes through the pupil strikes
the lens. Here the light is further bent toproduce an upside down image that formson the retina

4. The lights receptors on the retina detectsthe image that is made up of light. Theyproduce a message.
5. The message is sent to the brain along the
optical nerve. The brain then interprets themessage and we see the object the rightway up.
Properties Of Light Reflection is the bouncing of lights of asurface on which light falls on. Refraction is the bending of light when light
passes at an angle from one medium such asair to another medium such a glass, eachmedium with a different density.

Monocular And Stereophonic Visions. The survival of an animal often depends on
the position of the animals eyes. Someanimal, for example, have eyes on the sides
of their head. This kind of vision is calledmonocular vision.
Some animal have eyes on the front oftheir heads. This helps them to judge the
distance of objects that they are lookingat. These two views are put together toform a 3D image rather than just a flatimage. This vision is called stereoscopicvision.

STIMULI AND RESPONSES IN
PLANTS
Positive And Negative Tropism Plants, like all other living things, can also
react to changes in their surroundings. However, unlike animals, plants often
react slowly to stimuli such as light, water,gravity and touch.
Tropism is when plant move towards oraway from a stimulus.
If the plant move towards the stimuli it is
called positive tropism If the plant does the opposite it is called
negative tropism. Plants response to ; Phototropism,
geotropism, hydrotropism,thigmotropism and nastic movement

Phototropism Phototropism is the movement or growth
of plants in response towards light. Geotropism Geotropism is the movement or growth
towards gravity. Hydrotropism Hydrotropism is the movement or growth
of plants in response to water. Thigmotropism Thigmotropism is the movement or growth
of plants in response to touch.

CLASSES OF FOOD
Carbohydrates Carbohydrate gives us energy. They are
sugars and starch found in food. Excesscarbohydrates are stored as fat.
Proteins. Proteins are used for building body
tissues, enzymes and hormones. Protein isneeded for growth , development andrepair of body tissue. They also gives usenergy.
Fats. Fats provide us with energy and warmth.
Fats are found in animal products such asbutter and fatty meat. Fats are also foundin plant products.
Vitamins. Vitamins are needed in small amounts for
our health and growth. A shortage ordeficiency in any vitamin may cause
health problems.

Minerals. Minerals are needed in small amount for
our growth and development. They are alsoneeded by body tissues and used in somechemical reactions in the body.

Fibre. Fibre keeps our intestines healthy and
working properly. Food containing fibrecan move along quickly and easily through
the intestines. Without fibre, we mayconstipate. Eating food containing fibrealso prevents cancer piles and even bowelcancer.
Water. Water is needed for breaking down food,
dissolving the different classes of food andtransporting various substances aroundour body. Water makes up 70% of our
body weight and forms a major part of ourblood. Chemical reaction in our body canonly take place if there is enough water.

THE IMPORTANCE OF A BALANCE
DIET.
A Balanced Diet.A balanced diet contains the right
amount of energy for our needs. Wemust eat enough of seven classes of foodfor our growth, development and health.
A balanced diet is determined by thepersons age, size, sex, occupation oractivity, state of health or the climateand environment..
Calorific Value Of Food. Energy stored in food can be measured
in units such as calories or joules(1Calorie = 4.2 joules).

HUMAN DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Digestion. Some classes of food like starch, protein
and fats consist of large molecules thatcannot be absorbed by the bloodstreaminto our cells. For the large molecules toenter it must be broken down into tiny
molecules. The process of breaking downthe large food molecules is calleddigestion.
The human digestive system is made up ofa tube called the alimentary canal, also
known as the gut, and several other organthat work together to break down thefood as we eat.

The Flow Of Food In The AlimentaryCanal. Food travels through our body along the
alimentary canal. It is a continuous tube
beginning at the mouth and ending at theanus. Mouth. Digestion starts in the mouth. Food is being
chewed by our teeth and it is broken downinto smaller pieces.
The food is mixed up with saliva and anenzyme, amylase. An enzyme is a substance
that speeds up a specific chemical reaction inthe body. Amylase is a digestive enzyme thathelps to break down large starch moleculesinto the smaller molecule. It digest starchinto glucose. Food is usually not kept longin the mouth so, not all the starch can bedigested. Our tongue rolls up the digested
food into a lump and the lump travels downthe esophagus. Esophagus or Gullet. The esophagus is a narrow tube with smooth
muscles in it walls. After food enters theesophagus, The food is being pushed downby a motion called peristalsis.

Stomach. The stomach is a muscular bag with wall
that secretes hydrochloric acid, waterand protease, a digestive enzyme. Food
may be held in the stomach by itscontracted muscles for several hours.Contracted stomach muscles also churnup the food in the stomach withhydrochloric acid, water and protease.Protease helps to digest proteins intoamino acids. When most of the proteinsare digested a thick liquid called chymeleaves the stomach.
Small Intestine. The small intestine is where most of the
digestion of food takes place. It has adiameter of about 2 cm but a lenght of
more than 6 m. As the chyme movesinto the small intestine, it mixes theenzymes and secretion from threedifferent organs the small intestine,
the liver and the pancreas.

The liver and the pancreas deliver theirenzymes or secretions to the smallintestine through small tubes . The liverproduce bile, a substance that breaks up
large fat droplets into smaller particle.Bile flows from the liver into the gallbladder, the organ that stores bile. Asfood enters the small intestine, bile passesthrough a tube from the gall bladder intothe small intestine. It then mixes withfood.
The pancreas produces digestive enzymessuch as amylase, protease and lipase that
flow into the small intestine. Amylasehelps to break down starch into glucose.Protease help to break down protein intoamino acids. Lipase helps to break downfats into fatty acids and glycerol.
The small intestine produces differentenzymes such as amylase, lipase andprotease to complete the digestion ofcarbohydrates, fats and proteins.
Digestion of food in our body ends inthe small intestine.

ABSORPTION OF DIGESTED
FOOD
The inner lining of the small intestine is
lined with many ridges and folds -:
Note the millions of tiny finger shapedprojections called vili that covers thelining of the small intestine. The
presence of vili greatly increases thesurface area of the small intestine. Thegreatly increased surface area enablesdigested food to be absorbed faster into
the small intestine than if the walls were
smooth.

REABSORTION OF WATER AND
DEFECATION Reabsortion Of Water In The LargeIntestine. The large intestine forms the last part of
the digestive system. It has a diameter of
about 6cm to 7cm but a length of about2m. By the time the watery mixture from the
end of the small intestine enters the largeintestine, most of the products ofdigestion would have been absorbed into
the body . The large intestine reabsorbslarge amount of water from the waterymixture through its walls. As water is
reabsorbed , the watery mixture changesinto solid waste that contain undigestedfood such as fibre, bacteria, dead cells andothers.

Defecation. The large intestine ends in a short tube
called the rectum. Here, the solid wasteare compressed. The compressed waste
leave the body through the anus, amuscular opening at the end of therectum, as faeces, through a processcalled defecation.
Defecation is the process in which faecesis expelled from the body through therectum due to contractions of musclesin the rectal wall
Rates of defecation among humans vary
widely from three times a day to oncein two or three days. However, when aperson can only defecate at longintervals such as a week, the person
suffers from constipation, a problem ofdefecation.
