THE SENSE ORGANS
The sense organs are the organs which receive stimuli and with the help of the brain (voluntary action), the message is received and interpreted. Hence, such organs enable animals to respond to stimuli within the environment.
SENSE ORAGNS OF FARM ANIMALS
Organs of farm animals include the eyes, ears, kidney, liver, skin, nose, tongue, lungs and heart. Most of these organs have already been discussed in this chapter. However, the structure and functions of the skin, kidney and liver are discussed below in detail.
The sense organs include: (i)nose – sense of smell (ii)Eyes – sense of vision(sight) (iii)Ears – sense of sound (hearing) (iv)Tongue – sense of taste (v)Skin – sense of touch and heat
