Yes, both the mouth and nose are connected through your pharynx in the back of your throat. The reason behind smelling something and practically tasting it, is due to this connection.

What are the functions of the three main parts of the human ear?
The three main parts of the ear are the outer ear, middle ear and the inner ear. The outer ear's function is to funnel or pass sound waves through the ear to the middle ear. The middle ear's function is to protect the inner ear from damaging sounds. In the inner ear, sound waves are converted into nerve impulses which are transmitted to the brain to be interpreted. The inner ear also serves as the main organ of balance for the body.
