Which sense is associated with vision?

Hearing Vision Gustation Smell

Correct Answer:

Vision

Explanation:

Sight is the sense associated with vision. It relies on light detection by photoreceptors in the retina—rods and cones—that convert light into neural signals. These signals travel via the optic nerve to the brain’s visual cortex, where they are interpreted as images. This is different from hearing, which uses the ears to detect sound waves; gustation, which involves taste buds on the tongue; and smell (olfaction), which uses receptors in the nasal cavity to detect scents. So vision specifically refers to the system responsible for seeing.
