A cranial nerve involved in taste?
When taste buds are stimulated they can produce 4 different sensations (sweet, salty, bitter, sour). These nervous impulses are carried to the brain by the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII)from the anterior 2/3 of the tongue and by the glossopharyngeal (cranial nerve IX) from the posterior 1/3 of the tongue.
What nerve that connected in the nose?
the olfactory (smell) and gustatory (taste) sensations pass along the cranial nerves directly to the brain. smell signals travel from the olfactory nerve (made up of groups of nerve fibres ) to a patch of the cortex located in the temporal lobe.
What is the cranial cranial nerve responsible for?
equilibrium, taste, tears, and tongue movement
What is the five primary taste qualities and the cranial nerves that serve the sense of Taste?
Taste Qualities: Sweet Sour Salty Bitter Umami Cranial Nerves: Facial Nerve Glossopharyngeal Nerve Vagus Nerve
Which cranial nerves monitor taste buds?
A) vagus nerve (X) B) facial nerve (VII) C) glossopharyngeal nerve (IX) D) trigeminal nerve (V) E) facial nerve (VII), vagus nerve (X), and glossopharyngeal nerve (IX) Answer is E
Which cranial nerve is responsible for the sense of hearing?
olfactory
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.
Which cranial nerve's carry gustatory information?
Brances of the Facial (VII), Glossopharyngeal (IX), and Vagus (X) cranial nerves carry information about taste
Which one of the following cranial nerves is NOT involved in either taste?
vestibular (VIII)
What is the function of gustatory nerve?
This nerve is one of the 12 cranial nerves. It is for the sense of taste. This sense is important because many poisons are bitter.
What is the gustatory nerve function?
This nerve is one of the 12 cranial nerves. It is for the sense of taste. This sense is important because many poisons are bitter.
What cranial nerve is not in involved in either taste or smell?
Optic Nerve = Vision Oculomotor Nerve = Eye movement; pupil constriction Trochlear Nerve = Eye movement Trigeminal Nerve = Somatosensory information (touch, pain) from the face and head; muscles for chewing. Abducens Nerve = Eye Movement Vestibulocochlear Nerve = Hearing; balance Vagus Nerve = Sensory, motor and autonomic functions of viscera (glands, digestion, heart rate) Spinal Accessory Nerve = Controls muscles used in head movement. Hypoglossal Nerve = Controls muscles of tongue
