A
Vision
B
Hearing
C
Smell
D
Taste
E
Touch
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Specialized cells and tissues within these organs receive raw stimuli and translate them into signals the nervous system can use. Nerves relay the signals to the brain, which interprets them as sight (vision), sound (hearing), smell (olfaction), taste (gustation), and touch (tactile perception).

Detailed explanation-2: -Sensations begin as signals generated by touch receptors in your skin. They travel along sensory nerves made up of bundled fibers that connect to neurons in the spinal cord. Then signals move to the thalamus, which relays information to the rest of the brain.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sensory input. The other senses on your head-sound, smell, taste and touch-all use your somatic nervous system to reach your brain. Your sense of touch below your neck uses your somatic nervous system to reach your spinal cord, which then relays signals to your brain.
