Drew: Hey there, its me Drew Burnett. Welcome back to my show, joining us today are doctor Phil and scientist Max. We’ll be chatting about Smell and Taste the chemical senses.

Max: Hello, I am happy to be here today. I am the expert on the taste and the mouth,

Phil: Hello good morning all, I hail from Trinidad and Tobago, the best expert on the noses from the islands.

Drew: Scientist Max, can you explain to our viewers how you are able to taste certain foods and how that connects to the brain?

Max: Well it all begins with the taste buds which cover the entire top of the tongue. There are four different tastes that the taste buds send to the brain. These four different tastes are sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. It is easy for the brain to receive these tastes because the tongue has many nerves that help detect and transmit the signals to the brain.

Drew: Thanks for that, Max! That was great! Phil, can you explain to me how the nose can detect and identify certain smells?

Phil: Sure, Drew you’re really good looking. The most important part in the nose is olfaction. You use this to for detection and perception of odors. The chemicals floating through the air gets caught in the nose and triggers the olfactory bulb. It then transmits to the olfactory epithelium, which is a receptor cell. Then a impulse shoots up to the brain and reaches the hippocampus. Since the hippocampus is related to memory and emotions, you may be reminded of a favorite movie when you smell popcorn!

Drew: Thanks, that is some really interesting stuff Phil. I have always wanted to visit the islands Of Trinidad and Tobago, they seem to gosh darn pretty! So Max, all the listeners know humans and animals are closely related so tell me, the absolute threshold for taste in humans....What is it !?

Max: A great question, Mr. Burnett well the simple answer to that is that the threshold for humans is they can taste one teaspoon of sugar diffused into two gallons of water.

Drew: Same question to Phil.

Phil: There is actually a large difference between animals and humans, mainly in dogs. The human threshold is one drop of perfume diffused into a three room apartment. Smell is dogs primary special sense. A dog’s sense of smell is said to be a thousand times more sensitive than that of humans. In fact, a dog has more than 220 million olfactory receptors in its nose, while humans have only 5 million.

Drew: Both the tongue and the nose are used for survival. There are many ways this could work out. Which one of you wants to explain how?

Max: I’ll chime in first, the tongue is very essential to survival. It can come in handy for anytime that one is in trouble. For instance, if you are lost in the forest and have nothing to eat, and you see berries, you know you can pop em in the mouth and if they seem poisonous then you spit them out but if not then keep on munching.

Phil: And the nose can be helpful for survival if you are in the woods when its cold and you can smell fire and go use the warmth! It could save your life! Another exciting thing about the nose is that In a recent study, men thought women wearing a Citrus Floral scent were 12 pounds lighter! Can you believe it!

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Drew: Well that’s all we have for today, I hope you all had a great time learning about smell and taste the chemical senses!
