The document discusses how our senses of smell and taste work. It explains that for smell, odor molecules are detected by receptors in the nose which send signals to the brain. When we have a flu, our ability to smell is reduced because the receptors are covered by mucus. It also explains that for taste, flavors must dissolve in saliva to be detected by receptors on the tongue which then send signals to the brain. The document provides examples of how pinching the nose reduces taste and how foods that don't dissolve can't be tasted.

a) What will happen to the nose when we get used to
a smell? b) Did you agree that without the brain, we cannot smell? Why?
a) After smelling something for a long time, the
sensory cells stop sending a messages to the brain. Therefore, we can no longer smell it. b) Without the brain we cannot smell. The brain is the organ which receives nerve impulses and interprets them as a specific smell. Without the brain, the impulses cannot be interpreted as

a) How does pinching the nose help when taking
medicine? b) Why cant we taste food that cannot dissolve in the saliva?
