Senses What are the human senses and how do they work? The human senses are faculties by which the human body perceives external stimulation. Humans have senses to help them experience the world around them. The five main senses are sight‚ hearing‚ taste‚ smell and touch. Each of these five senses consists of organs with a specialized structure that has receptors for specific stimulation. These receptors are linked to the nervous system and therefore the brain. Sight Sight is the sense

The human ear is divided into three parts: the outer ear that contains the ear canal‚ the middle ear comprised of the ear drum and the small auditory bones‚ and the inner ear containing the cochlear and associated nerves. Sound is perceived in the brain through a mechanism that transforms auditory information encoded in the vibrations of the eardrum to electronic pulses that becomes transmitted through the auditory nerves in the brain. The cells that stimulate the nerve fibers and transduce the

Otitis media Introduction Otitis media is an ear infection of the middle ear‚ the area just behind the eardrum. It happens when the eustachian tubes‚ which connect the middle ear to the nose‚ get blocked with fluid. Mucus‚ pus‚ and bacteria can also pool behind the eardrum‚ causing pressure and pain. Ear infections usually start with a cold. Although adults can get ear infections‚ they are most common in infants and young children. That’s because a child’s eustachian tubes are narrower and shorter

damaging my hearing. I’ve noticed this happened because the sound waves have such high decibels that the human ear cannot sustain the sound levels for a certain period of time. I also noticed once I leave the concert there seems to be ringing in my ears which isn’t a very good sign. Another problem I found is there is a design flaw with the acoustical design of your concert halls. The human ear takes in a normal conversation of about 40-65 decibels‚ which isn’t very loud and can withstand around 85 decibels

and then when the commercial comes on‚ BAM!? The volume gets really loud and you can’t hear anything! Watching TV and then a loud commercial comes on really scares me. Commercials don’t need to be loud to get my attention because it will just hurt my ears and I will mute the commercial losing all interest in the TV. Loud commercials scare the crap out of people.
