Most commonly through nerve impulses (electric pulses). For example touch organs in the fingertips register touch, and send on their info over nerve bundles to the brain. It is quick and fast. Other mechanisms that are more slow and diverse due to their signalling mechanism, have also been identified. An example is the influence of light on mood. As the theory goes, being in continuous low-light surroundings (e.g. above the Artic Circle during winter) influences hormone and neurotransmitter levels, and thus chemically influences the mood of humans.

The sense organs are connected to the brain through nerves. Each sense organ has specific nerves that carry sensory information to the brain for processing. The brain then interprets this information to create our perception of the world around us.
Nerves in your nasal passages have receptors on one end that attach to particles with odors. The other end of the nerve ends in the brain. The nerves you use for smelling are the only nerves that do not use a relay system to get to the brain.
The sense system is connected to the brain by the nerve cells because they are both part of the nervous system.
The nostrils are connected to the brain through the olfactory nerve, which is responsible for the sense of smell. Each nostril connects to the brain through a different pathway, but both nostrils contribute to the overall sense of smell.
The eyes are the organs that control the body's vision. They receive light and images, which are then processed by the brain to create the sense of sight.
Sense organs work together by receiving external stimuli and transmitting signals to the brain for processing. For example, the eye detects light signals and sends them to the brain to interpret as visual information. The brain then integrates this visual information with input from other sense organs like the ears and skin to create a comprehensive perception of the environment.
Yes, sensation involves the stimulation of sense organs such as the eyes, ears, skin, taste buds, and nose. These sense organs receive information from the external environment and transmit it to the brain for processing.
The eyes (vision), ears (hearing), nose (smell), and tongue (taste) send nerves directly to the brain to process sensory information. These sense organs have specialized receptors that detect stimuli from the environment and convert them into signals that are transmitted to the brain for interpretation.
