Gustatory receptors are part of the sense of taste. They are in your mouth. Olfactory receptors are part of the sense of smell. They are in your nose.

Hypersomia of the central nervous system?
Hyperosmia is an increased olfactory acuity (heightened sense of smell), usually caused by a lower threshold for odor.[1] This perceptual disorder arises when there is an abnormally increased signal at any point between the olfactory receptors and the olfactory cortex. The causes of hyperosmia may be genetic or environmental.
Can your sense of smell alter your sense of taste?
Much of what most people consider "taste" actually is smell. Most fruit really tastes pretty similar... if you plug up your nose so you can't smell it, the difference between two fruits of similar acidity and sweetness is mainly in the texture. So, in that sense, yes. There is no direct causal relationship on a physical level because taste and smell are mediated by different types of receptors detecting different types of chemical compounds. Smell is carried from olfactory receptors in the nose to the brain via the Olfactory Nerve (cranial nerve I). Taste is carried from gustatory receptors on the tongue to the brain via the Facial Nerve and the Glossopharyngeal Nerve (cranial nerves VII and IX). However, these signals are integrated extensively in the cerebrum and many connections are made. Therefore, it is plausible that the mere smell of a certain type of food can elicit the memory of the taste of that particular food.
What is the bony structure between the olfactory epithelium and the olfactory bulb?
Cribriform plate
What is the microscopic level of relationship between form and function exemplified by?
Cellular receptors exist only on the outer surface of the plasma membrane
Why does atropine effect histamine receptors?
It doesn't atropine only acts on muscarinic receptors (it's a competitive antagonist here for ACh), but histamine acts on different receptors (histamine receptors). There is no direct interaction between atropine and histamine receptors
What are the connections between the receptors in the skin and the CNS?

What the similarities between enzymes and receptors?
They both have ligands.
What name is given to complex spherical structures that house the mitral cells?
The glomerulus (plural glomeruli) is a spherical structure located in the olfactory bulb of the brain where synapses form between the terminals of the olfactory nerve.
What do peripheral nervous system sensory receptors do?
Sensory receptors provide the connection between the stimulus such as heat, cold, and pain and the CNS.
How do the sensory receptors in your fingers differentiate between different objects?
You have several sensory receptors and they all measure differences in pressure, displacement, and movement. The main ones are the Merkle, Meissner, Pacinian, Raffini, Krause, Hair follicle receptors, and the pain receptors.
What is the relationship between the nucleus and rna?
The relationship between the nucleus and rna is rather significant. Because of it, we as humans can function. Transporting RNA molecules to from the nucleus to the cytoplasm is fundamental for gene expression. The RNA produced in the nucleus is transported through the nuclear pore by export receptors. TRNAs and microRNAs bind directly to the receptors, but ribosomal RNAs and mRNAs assemble into ribonucleoprotein particles and export with specific adapter proteins. Basically, the RNA takes the information from the DNA (which is in the nucleus) to the ribosomes to make proteins,which preform our basic living needs.
