Anatomy and Physiology of Special Sensory Organs

Sensory organs can be labeled as special sensory structures that permit sight, hearing, odor, and flavor. Sensory structures permitting proprioception, touch, thermal, and pain perception can be classified as more advanced sensory organs. The sensory neu…

Sensory Receptors

The human sensory system is one of the most complex and highly evolved structures, which processes a myriad of incoming messages. This well-coordinated system helps an organism or individual to respond to external stimuli, appropriately. The sensory rece…

List the five major tastants Relate the relationship of taste to smell?

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

Describe how taste and smell works.
