Week 5: Senses

Hello friends,
   Welcome back to my blog!! This week I am going to share some facts about the sense-taste. This information is taken from the article How does our sense of taste work? 

Taste is linked to other sensations. It is not only the qualities of taste perceived by the tongue but also the smell, texture, and temperature of a meal that is important. We cannot enjoy a delicious meal if our nose clogged or can't smell properly! There are thought to be at least five basic qualities of taste. Many dishes are made up of a combination of different tastes. The basic tastes are sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and savory. Hot and spicy are often considered as taste, but they are not. However, it is caused by a pain signal sent by the nerves that transmit touch and temperature sensations. All taste can be perceived equally well everywhere on the tongue. The back of our tongue is very sensitive to bitter tastes. This is apparently to protect us so that we can spit out poisonous or spoiled foods or substances before they enter the throat and are swallowed. So taste is an important sense. If this sense is not functioning, we cannot enjoy our meals or get an interest to eat food. Because every food will feel like the same.
