Summary Introduction
To define:
The term chemoreceptor, and also explain the difference between olfaction and taste.
Introduction:
Chemoreceptors are sense specific receptors such as “taste buds and olfaction”, is responsible for a large component of “taste and smell”. These two senses respond to chemicals from the external environment.
