A dog's sense of smell is thousands of times stronger than a person's.
Dogs can smell things we never notice. Some dogs even help find lost people using only their noses.
Taste and smell work together to help you enjoy your food.
When your nose is blocked, food can taste plain. Try holding your nose while you take a bite!
Your ears help you hear and also help you keep your balance.
Deep inside your ear are tiny tubes filled with fluid. They help you stand up without wobbling over.
Your skin is the sense of touch, and it covers your whole body.
Skin can feel soft, hard, warm, and cold. It is the biggest part of your body.
Your tongue can taste sweet, salty, sour, and bitter flavours.
Tiny taste buds cover your tongue. They tell your brain if food is sweet like fruit or sour like a lemon.
Your five senses are sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.
Each sense sends messages to your brain. Together they tell you all about the world around you.
Your nose can remember thousands of different smells.
Smell is closely linked to memory in the brain, which is why a single scent can suddenly remind you of a place, a food, or a person from long ago.
You blink around 15 to 20 times every minute.
Each blink spreads a thin layer of tears to clean and protect your eyes. It adds up to thousands of blinks a day, so your eyes are briefly shut for a small part of every hour without you noticing.
