Give the Roman numeral for the cranial nerve that carries impulses from the ear to the brain. VIII 3. Chemicals in air that are detected by chemoreceptors in the nose are called odorants. 4. Is low pitched sound produced by HIGH FREQUENCY OR LOW FREQUENCY of sound waves? 5. In order for a tastant to be detected by chemoreceptors in the taste buds, it must first dissolve in saliva. 6. Olfaction is another word for the sense of smell. 7. The semicircular canals function in which of the three senses provided by the ear? Vestibule 8. List three senses that are provided by the ear.
