Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

• The taste receptors are located around the small structures known as papillae found on the upper surface of the tongue, soft palate, upper oesophagus, the cheek, and epiglottis.
• The cranial nerves innervate these sites and carry taste information to the brain.
• Hence Cranial nerves carry taste information from Tongue, Palate and Epiglottis.
• So, the correct answer is 'All the above'.
