What makes fries taste good?
The nurons in your plisicle cells are stimulated by the carbohydrates in the gomficate cell.
How do people smell food?
A specialized smell receptor is situated In the roof of the nasal canal,called Olfactory mucosa. the olfactory epithelium is innervated by the olfactory(1st cranial)nerve and some branches of the 5th nerve.Olfactory epithelium contains three kinds of cells,namely olfactory receptor cells,supporting cells and basal cells.Olfactory receptor cells are sensory hair cells,sensitive to all kind of cells.Their axons terminally join the olfactory nerve. Supporting cells are mucus-secreting columnar cells. Basal cells are the stem cells from which new receptor cells are formed.Olfaction,just like taste,is a chemical sense. The molecules of the odorous substances reach the nasal canal along with the inspired air. Here, they dissolve in the mucus secretion and then attach to the receptor cells. This stimulates the receptor cells and they generate olfactory impulses. Olfactory nerves transmit these impulses to the olfactory center in the temporal lobe of the cerebrum(known as the olfactory cortex)
How are taste and smell receptors stimulated?
Taste buds can sense sweet, salt, bitter, and sour. They can sense texture, like creamy, rough, and so forth. Everything else associated with flavor is a result of aroma which is sense by olfactory cells. Flavors on the tongue are possible when the taste buds sense different amount of salt, sweet, sour, and bitter. You can try an experiment . . . block your nostrils with cotton balls, then have someone dab different foods on your tongue. You should be amazed at how little you can tell about taste without using your nose.
Does smell effect taste?
Yes, smell can greatly affect taste. When we eat, smell and taste work together to create our overall perception of flavor. That's why food may taste different when you have a stuffy nose, because smell plays a key role in how we perceive the flavors of food.
What is the nature of the stimuli detected by the gustatory and olfactory?
The gustatory detects taste, and the olfactory detects smell.
Gustatory hairs are to taste as olfactory hairs are to?
smell
What is responsible for detecting the taste of the food we eat?
The taste buds on the tongue and the sensory organs in the olfactory bulb.
Which part of the brain is responsible for smelling?
For smell, the olfactory bulb (a brain structure directly above the nasal cavity and below the frontal lobe) interprets smell. The olfactory nerve endings are in the upper nasal cavity and detect smells. For taste, lower primary somatic sensory cortex interpreters the sense of taste. There are 5 different taste buds on the tongue that sense taste.
What are the taste buds of tongue?
The sense of taste is mediated by taste receptor cellswhich are bundled in clusters called taste buds.Taste receptor cells sample oral concentrations of a large number of small molecules and report a sensation of taste to centers in the brainstem.Taste buds are composed of groups of between 50 and 150 columnar taste receptor cells bundled together like a cluster of bananas. The taste receptor cells within a bud are arranged such that their tips form a small taste pore, and through this pore extend microvilli from the taste cells. The microvilli of the taste cells bear taste receptors. Interwoven among the taste cells in a taste bud is a network of dendrites of sensory nerves called "taste nerves". When taste cells are stimulated by binding of chemicals to their receptors, they depolarize and this depolarization is transmitted to the taste nerve fibers resulting in an action potential that is ultimately transmitted to the brain.
What taste buds are stimulated by lemonade?
Sweet and sour.
What common name is used to describe both the taste and the olfactory receptors and why?
Taste Buds. Trinity $w@g!
What is the interaction between taste and smell?
How are smell and taste related? The answer is simple: When we taste, we use our sense of smell. Have you ever noticed why when you have a cold, or you've plugged your nose, you can't taste the food in your mouth? This is because we assume automatically that what we are smelling is going to taste that way. So it does. Most of the time. When you taste, you are using your sense of smell to kind of tell you what it is that your eating. If you were to close your eyes and hold your nose and then taste apples and a potato, you wouldn't be able to tell a difference. At all. Except maybe the texture. ~Thanks, WorldBook 2001 Edition.
