The organs of taste are the taste buds. These are mostly located on the tongue but they are also present on roof of the mouth and the inside of cheeks, and a few are located in the lower pharynx (Throat) and epiglottis. There are two main pairs of cranial nerves associated with taste which transmit information from the tongue - the facial nerve (VII) and the glossopharyngeal nerve (IX) The vagus nerve (X) also transmits information from the few taste buds in the epiglottis and lower pharynx

Which cranial nerve is responsible for the sense of hearing?
olfactory
What senses are affected by the cranial and facial bones that protect and support the sense organs?
Cranial and facial bones affect the following senses: senses of vision, taste, smell, hearing and balance. Protection of the brain is done by cranial while facial forms the mechanical framework of the face.
What is the cranial cranial nerve responsible for?
equilibrium, taste, tears, and tongue movement
