10. Explain the relation between the brain and the five senses.

Ans. The sense organs correspond to a defined region (or group of regions) within the brain where the nerve signals are received and interpreted.

Sensory neurons send nerve impulses from sensory receptors to the central nervous system. The brain then interprets the nerve impulses to form a response.
