It discusses how different parts of the skin have varying sensitivity to touch, and how smell receptors in the nose detect odors. It also explains that taste buds on the tongue are sensitive to sweet, bitter, sour and salty flavors, and that smell helps enhance the sense of taste. The summary concludes by mentioning the ear is the sensory organ for hearing, and eyes detect sight.
