Document Summary

Talking about taste, touch, and pain today (ignoring temperature) When you have a cold and you can"t smell well, you also can"t taste well - there are interrelations between smell and taste. The stimulus for taste and the stimulus for smell are the same - molecules of substances. Taste buds are the sense organs for taste- they"re on all sorts of places in your mouth. Taste buds are leafy, have things that stick out- those things are what grab the molecules. There are 4 different types of papilli in your mouth, one is to keep food inside (no taste buds on them, just keep food from falling out), the other 3 do have taste buds. There could be very few taste buds on a pappili, maybe a lot. Don"t have the same oomph cause you don"t have as many taste buds responding.
