==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
A '''sensory organ''' is an [[organ]] which contains specific [[Receptor Cell|receptor cells]] which can detect a change in the environment.
===About Sensory Organs===
Different '''sensory organs''' are [[Adaptation|adapted]] to detect different changes to the environment.
*[[Eyes]] are [[Adaptation|adapted]] to detect changes in [[light]] [[intensity]] and [[colour]].
*[[Ears]] are [[Adaptation|adapted]] to detect [[vibration]]s we call [[sound]].
*The [[nose]] is [[Adaptation|adapted]] to detect [[chemical]]s in the [[air]].
*The [[tongue]] is [[Adaptation|adapted]] to [[chemical]]s [[dissolve]]d in the [[saliva]] in our [[mouth]]s.
*The [[skin]] is [[Adaptation|adapted]] to detect changes in [[temperature]] and [[pressure]].
