Human Senses and Their Functions

The video tutorial explores the five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. It explains how each sense functions, detailing the biological processes involved. The sense of sight involves the eyes and the retina, hearing involves the ears and cochlea, smell involves the nose and olfactory cells, taste involves the tongue and taste buds, and touch involves the skin and its sensors. The brain plays a crucial role in interpreting the information from all senses, helping us understand the world around us.
