Sensory organs are specialised extensions of the central nervous system
Only by being able to see, hear, taste, smell or feel an object do we know of its existence. Without sensory organs, we would have no concept of our environment. The sensory organs enable us to take in information from our surrounding environment and convert it into nerve impulses, into the «language of the brain».
The data provided by the sensory cells is directly transmitted to the brain. Here the various data is linked together and processed, furnishing a continuously changing picture of our environment and triggering both conscious and unconscious reactions.
Ada too experiences her surroundings through her «sensory organs».
