Which one of the following cranial nerves is NOT involved in either taste?
The optic nerve (cranial nerve II) is not involved in taste, as its primary function is vision. Taste is primarily mediated by the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII), glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX), and vagus nerve (cranial nerve X).
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 would happen if you damaged cranial nerve one?
Damaging cranial nerve one, the olfactory nerve, can result in a loss of the sense of smell (anosmia). This can impact your ability to detect odors, which may affect your ability to taste food as well.
What is the cranial cranial nerve responsible for?
equilibrium, taste, tears, and tongue movement
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 five primary taste qualities and the cranial nerves that serve the sense of Taste?
The five primary taste qualities are sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. The cranial nerves responsible for taste are the facial nerve (VII), glossopharyngeal nerve (IX), and vagus nerve (X). They carry taste information from the taste buds on the tongue to the brain.
What nervesresponsible for licking and eating?
The nerves primarily responsible for the sensations and motor functions involved in licking and eating include the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V), which provides sensory information from the face and mouth, and the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII), which controls the muscles of facial expression involved in these actions. Additionally, the glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX) plays a role in taste sensation, while the vagus nerve (cranial nerve X) contributes to swallowing and the coordination of digestive functions. Collectively, these nerves facilitate the complex processes of licking and eating.
Which cranial nerve is responsible for the sense of hearing?
olfactory
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
What nerve relates sensation to the brain which interprets the stimulus?
The nerve responsible for relaying sensory information to the brain is the cranial nerve. Each cranial nerve is associated with a specific type of sensory input, such as vision (optic nerve) or taste (glossopharyngeal nerve).
Taste buds are monitored by cranial nerves?
Yes, taste buds are monitored by three cranial nerves: the facial nerve (VII) for the front two-thirds of the tongue, the glossopharyngeal nerve (IX) for the back one-third of the tongue, and the vagus nerve (X) for the throat and epiglottis. These nerves transmit taste information from the taste buds to the brain.
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.
