Summary Introduction

To describe: How the olfactory neuron and taste buds function.

Introduction: The information about the external as well as internal environments is provided by special senses like vision (sight), gustation (taste), olfaction (smell), touch, and hearing. The sense of smell and taste uses chemoreceptors, which is essential for monitoring the composition of cerebrospinal fluid as well as blood.

Explain the mechanism for taste. Taste buds are the special organs of taste (fig. 10.5). The 10,000 or so taste buds are located mostly on the surface of the tongue and are associated with tiny elevations called papillae. About 1,000 taste buds are scattered in the roof of the mouth and walls of the throat
