Answer 1

The eye is an organ of the nervous system.

Answer 2

are u sure

Answer 3

Yes, I am sure. The eye is primarily considered part of the nervous system because it contains sensory receptors (photoreceptors) and is responsible for converting light into neural signals that are processed by the brain. While it does have connections to other systems (such as the integumentary system, through the outer layers of skin around the eye), its primary function relates to the nervous system.

Answer 4

what about the sense organ

Answer 5

The eye is indeed classified as a sense organ, specifically one of the five main sensory organs in the body (which include the ears, nose, tongue, and skin). As a sense organ, the eye detects light and enables vision, which is processed by the nervous system.

To clarify, while the eye is a sense organ, it is functionally integrated with the nervous system, as it converts visual information into electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain for interpretation. Thus, in the context of your original question about what major body system the eye belongs to, it is primarily associated with the nervous system because of its reliance on neural processes for vision.
