Rain makes the weather and emotions pleasant but the situation gets worsened in low lying areas as the water stands there and many pests find such conditions favourable and reproduce very fast. Bacterial diseases become so common. Some parasitic diseases put people at risk. One of the parasitic diseases that’s getting common these days is ‘Malaria’ History of Malaria  Malaria got its name from an Italian word Mal’aria which means spoiled or bad air.

Our Basic Senses

Image
Sense is a biological way of perceiving things that are happening outside in the environment or within the body. These are detected by the specialised receptor cells lying in different sense organs and then they are transmitted in the form of nerve impulses which travel to brain and then the body becomes able to respond to the specific stimuli. So the question arises here,  What are the different senses that human beings have? Here we'll see five different senses along with their sense organs that receive or detect them. 1. Touch : This is the first sense with which we are blessed. When the babies come in this world then before opening their eyes, first thing they feel is the gentle touch of their mothers which welcomes them in this world. So the biggest sense organ, skin is supplied with multiple sensors within it to detect changes in pressure, temperature, pain, vibration etc. They are then sent to brain which are processed by sensory cortex there, this is how we experience
