It was Aristotle who is credited with distinguishing between the five senses of the human body: sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing (Jacobson, 2007). The 18th century philosopher Immanuel Kant proposed that “our knowledge of the outside world depends on our modes of perception” and we must define what sensory is (Bronowski, 1978). All five senses have coinciding organs with specialized cellular structures which translate certain stimuli to create a message. These cellular structures have links
Chemical Senses Smell, taste, touch, sight and hearing, are all senses that individuals take for granted every day. These senses allow humans to better understand their environment. Two senses that is important to an individual everyday meal, is the sense of smell and taste. Smell allows the aromas around the meal, to enter the nose to determine if the meal either smells good or bad.

Ackerman’s writing on taste and vision is a very entertaining essay. The writing was easy to follow and was written on an interesting topic, which everyone can relate to. The most entertaining and informative parts were food and vision. I learned a great deal in that section and was entertaining to learn how food and vision are so closely related. For example all the different types of foods that are considered aphrodisiacs. Another entertaining section was the part about food and its history. How

Chemical Senses Paper It’s interesting to find out that the things we eat and drink are more so identified by our senses of sight and smell and not just taste. This is because food can be identified by just sight alone, and same thing goes for smell as well! Our brains actually view taste as a combination of the senses smell and touch at the same time.

Each of the senses therefore provides important functions and serves an intended purpose. The sense of smell is a chemical sense. It is called chemical sense as it detects the chemicals in the environment and it works on larger distances. The sense of smell
Chemical Senses Robert J. Bernal June 6, 2016 Robert Levitt, Instructor University of Phoenix Intro The senses of smell and taste are chemically based senses that are unique to the other senses in the way in which the brain interprets them. Unlike other senses which are perceived and categorized analytically, taste and smell both pass through the emotional response center of the brain on the way to their being stored as memories, evoking an emotional association to their formation
Taste and smell are something we use every day. From the moment we wake up,we are smelling things all around us. We taste food every single time it enters our mouth.
