    The _____________________________ is the coloured art of the eye.

    Explanation
    The iris is the colored part of the eye. It is a thin, circular structure that surrounds the pupil and controls the amount of light that enters the eye. The iris contains pigments that determine the color of the eye, such as blue, green, brown, or gray. It also plays a role in regulating the size of the pupil, which helps to protect the retina from excessive light exposure. Overall, the iris is an important component of the eye that contributes to both its appearance and functionality.

    The optic nerve leads to the

    Explanation
    The optic nerve is responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain. It carries electrical signals generated by the retina and delivers them to the brain, specifically to the visual cortex. Once the signals reach the brain, they are processed and interpreted, allowing us to perceive and make sense of the visual stimuli. Therefore, the optic nerve leads to the brain, enabling us to see and perceive the world around us.

    • Two

    Correct Answer
    A. Four
    Explanation
    The correct answer is four because the tongue has four types of specialized receptors: taste buds, thermoreceptors (for detecting temperature), mechanoreceptors (for sensing touch and pressure), and nociceptors (for perceiving pain). These receptors work together to help us taste and perceive different sensations on our tongue.

    The upper part of the nasal cavity contains

    Correct Answer
    many odor sensitive nerve endings
    Explanation
    The upper part of the nasal cavity contains many odor sensitive nerve endings. These nerve endings, known as olfactory receptors, are responsible for detecting and transmitting signals related to smell to the brain. When odor molecules enter the nasal cavity, they bind to these receptors, triggering a response that allows us to perceive and identify different smells. The abundance of these nerve endings in the upper part of the nasal cavity enhances our ability to detect and distinguish various odors.
