• We have almost 10,000 taste buds inside our
  mouths even on the roofs of our
  mouths. Insects
  have the most highly developed sense of taste.
  They have taste organsSome Clip Art Provided
• on their feet, antennae,
  and mouthparts. Fish
  can taste with their fins and tail as well as
  their mouth. In
  general, girls have more taste buds than boys.
  Taste is the weakest of
  the five senses.

Dogs have 1 million smell cells per
nostril and their smell cells are 100 times
larger than humans!
Humans use insect warning
chemicals, called pheromones, to keep away pesky
insects!
People who cannot smell have a condition
called Anosmia. If your
nose is at its best, you can tell the difference
between 4000-10,000
smells! As you get
older, your sense of smell gets worse. Children
are more likely to have
better senses of smell than their parents or
grandparents.

• Most people blink every 2-10 seconds.
• Each time you blink, you
  shut your eyes for 0.3 seconds, which means your
  eyes
• are closed at least 30
  minutes a day just from blinking.
• If you only had one eye,
  everything would appear two-dimensional. (This
  does
• not work just by closing
  one eye.)
• Owls can see a mouse
  moving over 150 feet away with light no brighter
  than a
• candle.
• The reason cat's and
  dog's eyes glow at night is because of silver
  mirrors in the
• back of their eyes called
  the tapetum. This makes it easier for them to see
  at
• night.
• An ostrich has eyes that
  are two inches across. Each eye weighs more than
  the
• brain.
• A chameleon's eyes can
  look in opposite directions at the same time.

• You have more pain nerve endings than any other
  type.
• The least sensitive part
  of your body is the middle of your back.
• The most sensitive areas
  of your body are your hands, lips, face, neck,
  tongue,
• fingertips and feet.
• Shivering is a way your
  body has of trying to get warmer.
• There are about 100 touch
  receptors in each of your fingertips.
• Rattlesnakes use their
  skin to feel the body heat of other animals.
