This article, the 11th in the Biological basis of child health series, focuses on the senses. There are five basic senses in humans: hearing, sight, touch, smell and taste. Several congenital and acquired conditions can affect the senses and may have significant negative effects on a child's development and ability to communicate with others. This article explores each of the five senses, discussing their anatomy, physiology and embryological development, as well as common conditions affecting sensory function in children. It aims to provide children's nurses with an understanding of the role of the senses in supporting children to make sense of the world, and how knowledge of this can be linked to clinical practice.
本文是儿童健康生物学基础系列的第11篇文章，重点关注感官。人类有五种基本感官：听觉、视觉、触觉、嗅觉和味觉。几种先天性和后天性疾病会影响这些感官，可能对儿童的发育和与他人交流的能力产生重大负面影响。本文探讨了这五种感官中的每一种，讨论了它们的解剖学、生理学和胚胎学发育，以及影响儿童感觉功能的常见疾病。其目的是让儿童护士了解感官在帮助儿童理解世界方面的作用，以及如何将这方面的知识与临床实践联系起来。
