Question

Sense of smell helps you to get the complete taste of food.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• Specific chemicals in solution pass into the taste bud through the taste pore to come in contact with the protein receptor sites on the microvilli of the gustatory receptor cells.
• The latter set up nerve impulses in the sensory nerve fibers. The nerve fibers transmit the impulses to the taste center in the brain where the sensation of taste arises.
• The facial nerve serves the anterior two-thirds of the tongue, the glossopharyngeal nerve serves the posterior one-third of the tongue.

So, the correct answer is 'True'.
