How are the senses taste and smell different?

Taste refers to the sensations we perceive through our taste buds on the tongue, detecting basic tastes like sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. Smell, on the other hand, is detected through receptors in the nose and helps us distinguish different scents and odors in the environment. Taste and smell often work together to create our overall perception of flavor.

Why you can't taste food when you have a bad cold?

Because the sensation of taste is closely tied to your sense of smell. The combination of your taste buds and the smell of food is what makes your brain recognize a taste. When you have a cold, your nose gets clogged and you can't smell as well as you normally can, so in your head, foods don't taste the same because you're not getting the normal amount of "taste information" from your nose" This is also why people hold their nose when eating something they don't like and why inhaling when you're eating spicy food makes them seem spicier.


What are taste pores?

Taste pores are your taste buds. These are the tiny papules on the surface of your tongue that allow you to taste things. They are technically called called gustatory organs. We have four types of taste that we can detect: salty, sweet, sour, and bitter.
