Is nose least important sense organ?
No, to me the sense of smell is important. If the house was burning down and you in another room if you had no sense of smell you would have to go on your other senses to figure it out. If you didn't have a sense of smell how would you know if you stink, that would suck if your on a date and your date leaves you because you smell "rank." Your sense of taste seems less important to me, if you think about it living without taste isn't bad as you not being able to see, touch, hear, and smell. All in all you need your sense of smell to coexist in everyday life.
Does being sick affect the way foods taste?
Part of the reason something tastes good to us is that we can also smell it as we eat. Humans have specialized sensory cells in the nasal cavity called olfactory sensory neurons. These neurons give us our sense of smell. If you're stopped up due to a cold, it impedes those senses and you aren't able to smell as well. A cold also doesn't allow as good of air intake through the nasal passages which normally allows different chemicals (scents) to pass over these neurons and be sensed (smelled). Since taste and smell are correlated, that component of your enjoyment of food will be diminished, at least temporarily.
Which type of sensory information does not pass through the thalamus?
A person's sense of smell does not first need to be processed by the Thalamus before entering the Cortex. This is often times why a smell can cause a memory recall faster than other kinds of sensory input.
What function do sense organs serve?
Sense organs detect external stimuli such as light, sound, taste, smell, and touch and then send signals to the brain, which processes this information to create perceptions and reactions. These organs help us interact with and respond to our environment, contributing to our survival and well-being.
Why do you need the olfactory?
The olfactory system is important for detecting and perceiving smells in our environment. It plays a crucial role in our sense of taste, helps us identify potentially dangerous odors, and also contributes to emotional experiences and memories through our sense of smell. Overall, the olfactory system enhances our sensory perception and ability to interact with our surroundings.
How do you get your taste back if you have a cold?
Technically, we only "taste" sweet, sour, salt and bitter. The tongue can only sense those 4 tastes. The rest of what we often call "taste buds" is actually the smell of food. If you have a sinus infection you can often lose the sense of smell. As soon as your cold passes, you are decongested and you start feeling better, your sense of taste should come right back! If you can't taste anything at all, even after you are well, You may need some medical assistance in recovering your sense of smell. Unfortunately there are some who lose their sense of smell and never get it back. Only a doctor can assist you on this one.

Do you need more than one sense to taste?
no. Well the taste buds will detect 4 different 'tastes': sweet, sour, salt, and bitter. But, the sense of smell will add to the experience known as 'taste'. If you have a cold, and your nose is stopped up, things taste different than 'normal'.

Why do you need your noses to taste?
Our sense of taste is closely linked to our sense of smell, which is why we need our noses to fully experience flavor. Taste buds on our tongue detect basic tastes—sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami—but much of what we perceive as flavor comes from aromas that travel through the nasal passages. When we chew food, volatile compounds are released and detected by olfactory receptors in the nose, enhancing the overall tasting experience. Without the sense of smell, our ability to enjoy and differentiate flavors would be significantly diminished.
How does smoking affect the sense of taste?
When u smoke your lungs have a harder time taking in oxygen and your taste buds need oxygen in order for you to taste. You also cannot taste without using your olfactory cells, or scent detectors in the nose, but when smoking it is harder to take in oxygen to your lungs through your nose.

How are taste and smell the same?
They are not the same. Taste is sensed by the taste buds in your tongue and comes only in 4 categories - salty, sour, sweet and bitter. Sometimes savory is added to these categories. Anything on top of that is picked up by our olfactory system (smell). Nose and mouth are closely connected and our olfactory sensors need only traces to be triggered (the traces in our breath are enough!). People with little or no sense of smell don't taste food the same way as the majority of us.
