It's uncommon to lose your ability to taste. The effects of


the inability to smell and to taste and identify unknown
food samples have no significant relationship to each
other.

My basis for this prediction is that there is no connection between the effects of
olfaction and gustation. Simply put, even though olfaction and gustation can both
identify food samples, they have no connection whatsoever and do not support each
other, thus relying on their own nature in identifying different food samples.

The skin areas that have the most sensory endings are the palm of the hand and the cheek, because these two have the
most sensory endings in the body and are responsible for everyday sensitivity, such as sensitivity related to the palm of
the hand for feeling or touching to distinguish certain objects and sensitivity related to my cheeks, which can allow quick
reactions in certain scenarios depending on the factors present in the surroundings.
The skin areas that have the least sensory endings are the anterior thighs and forearms. This is because these skin areas
have less or few sensory receptors.

I’m surprised that our cheeks and the palm of the hand have greater sensory density than other areas of the skin. As for
my prediction, it proved to be partially true. It is true that some skin areas tend to receive more sensory information,
such as pressure. To conclude and summarize, the three findings that I find important in my experiment are that, first,
the palm of the hand and cheek have more sensory endings and are very sensitive. Second, those skin areas that have
fewer sensory endings have a lower density of sensory receptors, and lastly, all skin areas are sensitive, which means
they are classified as either poorly sensitive or highly sensitive.
