In addition to the eleven
systems explained on this site, there is a group of organs which work together to compose
another system; the special senses. These organs, the eyes, ears, tongue, nose and skin,
are responsible for everything we see, hear, taste, smell and touch. Each sense
communicates with the brain through specialized nerves, for example the eye sends signals
of images to the brain using the optic nerve.
