taste: the faculty of distinguishing sweet, sour, bitter, and salty properties in the mouth
taste
Gustation is the sense of taste.
The technical term for the sense of taste is gustation.
I'm assuming by 'gustation', you actually mean gestation. Gestation is a period of which a woman is pregnant. A typical gestation period lasts 9 months. You're welcome.

Gustation...the sense of taste.
Smell is an odor or the perception of an odor.
The sense of gustation is classified as a chemosensory sense that allows organisms to perceive and distinguish different tastes. This sense is essential for evaluating the flavor of food and detecting potentially harmful substances.
The scientific names for the 5 senses are: 1. Sight- Vision (Visual) 2. Hearing- Audition (Auditory) 3. Taste- Gustation (Gustatory) 4. Smell- Olfaction (Olfactory) 5. Touch- Tactition (Tactile)
Olfaction (smell) and gustation (taste) work together to create our overall perception of flavor. While taste buds on the tongue detect basic tastes like sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami, the sense of smell contributes significantly to our ability to detect more subtle flavors and aromas in food. When we eat, volatile compounds released from the food interact with olfactory receptors in the nasal cavity, enhancing our perception of taste.
Saliva plays a crucial role in gustation by aiding in the breakdown of food particles, which allows taste molecules to interact with taste receptors on the taste buds. Saliva also helps to dissolve food molecules, making it easier for them to reach the taste receptors and contribute to the perception of taste.
The human senses include sight (vision), hearing (audition), taste (gustation), smell (olfaction), and touch (tactile sensations). Additionally, humans have a sense of balance (equilibrioception) and body awareness (proprioception).
The five senses are sight (vision), hearing (audition), taste (gustation), smell (olfaction), and touch (somatosensation). The eyes specifically contribute to the sense of sight, capturing light and converting it into signals that the brain interprets as images.
