At first glance, this is a very simple exercise that everyone can answer, because people usually judge people's appearance by "five senses", and general hospitals have "five senses" subjects. But, think about it carefully, which five organs of the human body do these "five senses" refer to? So, the author checked some information and found no clear answer. He also went to several hospitals to consult the doctors of the five senses. A: The medical books do not specify which five organs are the "five senses". If you can't find the answer, go back and look at the textbooks and related teaching AIDS to see what the editor means. There is a sentence on page 1 15 of the textbook that "the head of an animal is usually located at the front end of the body, and it usually has organs such as eyes, nose, mouth and ears." Page 120 of the teacher's book, which is matched with the textbook, clearly points out: "The five senses refer to the five organs of human eyes, ears, nose, mouth and throat." There is also a passage on page 99 of this "teacher's book" that "the heads of human beings and higher animals are located at the front end of the body, and obviously there are primary organs such as eyes, nose, mouth and ears. Eyes, nose and ears are sensory organs that can receive external signals, such as light, chemicals and sound. The mouth is the organ that ingests food, and the nose is the channel that exchanges gas with the outside world. There is hair on the head and a brain inside. " It is also a teacher's book, and the two statements are contradictory. The exercise book "Science Exercise Book" matched with the textbook is page 49. Question 3: Hospitals generally have five senses, and "five senses" means (): a, eyes, nose, mouth, ears and throat; B, eyes, nose, mouth, head and ears; C, hands, feet, head, neck, trunk; D, head, neck, trunk, limbs and face. The reference answer provided is (a). Another book, Help You Learn Science, written by Ningbo Physics Society and published by Central Literature Publishing House, points out on page 43: "The five senses of a person are eyes, nose, mouth, ears and head." There is no consistent answer in textbooks and teaching AIDS. In order to find out what "five senses" mean? The author can only consult the dictionary further. Modern Chinese Dictionary published by Commercial Press (revised edition 1980) and Modern Chinese Dictionary published by Yanbian Education Publishing House (first edition, 5438+0, August 2006) all have the annotation of "five senses": "refers to ears, eyes, mouth, nose and body. Usually refers to the organs on the face: the five senses are correct. " The annotation of Modern Chinese Dictionary (2002 supplementary edition) by the Commercial Press is: "refers to ears, eyes, mouth, nose and tongue. Usually refers to the organs on the face: the five senses are correct. " The annotation of "five senses" in Ci Hai 1979 and 1989 published by Shanghai Dictionary Publishing House is: "Ear, eye, lip, nose and tongue are collectively referred to. Chinese medicine believes that the five senses belong to the five internal organs. " Coffin, five readings and five ambassadors "is also the official of nose, liver, spleen, tongue and kidney." To sum up, the author thinks that "five senses" can be understood from three different angles: 1. Judging from the "correct five senses" in daily life, the "five senses" of the human body should refer to people's appearance, that is, ears, eyes, mouth, nose and body, or ears, eyes, mouth, nose and head; 2. From the perspective of western medicine, hospitals generally have otolaryngology or ophthalmology, stomatology and otolaryngology. If a person has a sore throat, he always goes to ENT or ENT for treatment. Therefore, the "five senses" of the human body should refer to ears, eyes, mouth, nose and throat; 3. From the point of view of TCM, a very important part of TCM consultation is to look at "tongue coating", so the "five senses" of human body should refer to ears, eyes, mouth, nose and tongue.
