D. COMPLETE THE STATEMENT

1. Facial Nerve
The cranial nerves involved in transmitting impulses for the sense of
2. Glossopharyngeal taste are the ( 1 ), ( 2 ) and ( 3 ). Impulses for the sense of smell
3. Vagus are transmitted by the ( 4 ) nerve. The receptors for smell are located
4. Olfactory Nerve in the ( 5 ) of the nasal passages; the act of ( 6 ) increases the
5. Roof sensation because it brings more air into contact with the receptors.
6. Breathing
The receptors for taste are found in cluster-like areas called ( 7 ),
7. Taste Buds
8. Circumvallate
most of which are located on the sides of ( 8 ) or ( 9 ) papillae. The

9. Fungiform five basic taste sensations are ( 10 ), ( 11 ), ( 12 ), ( 13 ), and

10. Sweet ( 14 ). The most protective receptors are thought to be those that
11. Sour respond to ( 15 ) substances. When nasal passages are congested,
12. Salty the sense of taste is decreased This indicates that much of what is
13. Bitter
considered taste actually depends on the sense of ( 16 ). It is
14. Umami
impossible to taste substances with a ( 17 ) tongue because foods
15. Bitter
16. Smell
must be dissolved (or in solution) to excite the taste receptors. The
17. Dry sense of smell is closely tied to emotional centers of the brain (limbic
18. Memories region), and many odors bring back ( 18 ).
