How does your taste buds work?

How does sight relate to taste?

Sight doesn't affect how your taste buds work, but it DOES change how the brain perceives flavor. The brain registers whatever food you see (for example a cake) and your taste buds are instantly caused to taste "sweet" flavors. If you stared at a cake for a while, then suddenly ate celery, your taste buds would be expecting "sweet", but not get any. This is why someone may drink something and be repulsed, because they expected another flavor.


How do you grow big buds?

For starters, You need to find weed seeds of whatever kind of weed you want. Depending on what seeds you get depends on how long the flowering process (when the buds appear) is going to take. It is very hard to grow big buds but if you're a newbie at growing, DO NOT, AND I REPEAT, DO NOT USE A BLACK LIGHT ON THE PLANTS. That kind of light will not work. You need a white fluroesent bulb to grow indoors. You can always find tips to grow on YouTube or even just googling what you need. I hope this helped some.


Why can't you taste without a sense of smell?

The senses of smell and taste are closely interrelated, and one definitely does affect the other to some extent.Although they are extremely closely related you will not loose your sense of taste if you lose your sense of smell it will just be extremely mild. You dont reallz lose your sense of taste physiologically instead psychologically you would find food less tast, not because your sense of taste is affected but because 80% of what we consider to be tasty food comes from how they smell.(1) On April 29, 2008 at 3:07 am User:Patty_Robb[0] said:I have lost my sense of smell since about ten years ago. It has gotten progressively worse. At first I would have phantom smells or if someone suggested a smell I would smell it for hours. I now do not even have a memory of smells and have lost my sense of taste as well.

How do your taste-buds work?

Taste buds work because of chemical action on the tongue. Taste buds are made of taste cells; these cells have taste hairs on them which are receptors for taste molecules. These hairs go into a taste pore on the surface of the tongue. Taste cells synapse with sensory nerve fibers, and stimulatory neurotransmitters are released to the brain, and the brain interprets these messages as taste. The taste pore must be flooded for this process to start, so the food molecules must either be moist, or they must be combined with saliva. More specifically, the facial nerve, glossopharyngeal nerve and the vagus nerve accumulate sensory information from the taste buds, and taste fibers send this information to the solitary nucleus in the medulla oblongata; the information is then taken to nuclei in the hypothalamus, amygdala and the thalamus. The thalamus routes the sensory information to the insula and postcentral gyrus of the cerebrum, and the individual can then become aware of the taste of the food he or she is eating.


How do taste buds work?

Taste buds contain the receptors for taste. They are located around the small structures on the upper surface of the tongue, soft palate, upper esophagus and epiglottis, which are called papillae.

Can you lose your taste permanently?

people say you can "Mask" your tastebuds by pluging your nose while eating something. I personally think this is a method that makes you look like a complete tard, but it might just work. See, smells trigger our taste buds. If we can't smell it, why would our taste buds be triggered? Hope this helps you. :)
