How are taste and smell receptors stimulated?
Taste buds can sense sweet, salt, bitter, and sour. They can sense texture, like creamy, rough, and so forth. Everything else associated with flavor is a result of aroma which is sense by olfactory cells. Flavors on the tongue are possible when the taste buds sense different amount of salt, sweet, sour, and bitter. You can try an experiment . . . block your nostrils with cotton balls, then have someone dab different foods on your tongue. You should be amazed at how little you can tell about taste without using your nose.
What is the function of pethidine in the body?
According to how it works: (quote) Acts as agonist at specific opioid receptors in the CNS to produce analgesia, euphoria, sedation; the receptors mediating these effects are thought to be the same as those mediating the effects of endogenous opioids (enkephalins, endorphins).(end).It is agonist meaning that it helps the receptors in the brain and spinal cord to be more open to the actions of sedation and reduces the feeling of pain. All-in-all, it acts just like opium (opiate).

When we eat food we get its taste but when we close our nose and eat it why don't we get the taste?
This is probably the best question I've heard on this site so far. As you may of heard, your tongue has Four taste receptors, Sweet, Sour, Bitter, and Salty. (Some people consider spicy as a tongue sense as well) but if you eat something like a unsweetend cherry, your tongue really has no receptors for it. Foods that are sweet, sour, bitter, or salty all have a place on the tongue, however foods that do not fit in those categories only taste significant because of the nose. The nose, with the power of smells, generates the taste.
