Question

A The action potentials initiated by taste receptors are transmitted to a separate region of the brain than those initiated by receptors for smell.

B Taste receptors are able to detect fewer molecules of the stimulus, which means these receptors will initiate a receptor potential before smell receptors do.

C The brain distinguishes between taste, arising from interoreceptors, from smell arising from exteroreceptors.

D The sensory region of the cerebral cortex distinguishes something we taste from something we smell by the difference in the action potential.

E Because we are able to see what we are tasting, the brain uses this information to distinguish taste from smell.

Explanation / Answer

The answer is A. There is no diference in action potentials which help the brain to differentiate between taste and smell. Different areas of the brain cater to different senses of the body
