Question 2 of 5:
Which system of the body controls the senses?
The answer is- Nervous system
The nervous system includes the brain, spinal cord, and a complex network of nerves. This system sends messages back and forth between the brain and the body.
The brain is what controls all the body's functions. The spinal cord runs from the brain down through the back. It contains threadlike nerves that branch out to every organ and body part. This network of nerves relays messages back and forth from the brain to different parts of the body.
Neuroscience is the field of science that focuses on the study of the nervous system.

Question 3 of 5:
Which group of animals have scales?
The answer is- Reptiles
Reptiles, as most commonly defined are the animals in the class Reptilia (/rɛpˈtɪliə/ rep-TIL-ee). Reptiles have a tough, dry, scaly skin that protects them from predators and allows them to live in dry places by reducing water loss. Reptilian scales are made of keratin, like hair, and found in an overlapping arrangement. This creates a sort of environmental shield for the animal. Josephus Nicolaus Laurenti was the first to formally use the term Reptilia for an expanded selection of reptiles and amphibians basically similar to that of Linnaeus.
