Special Senses Review

Provide a brief explanation about: how do the senses of smell and taste function? Please start with the detection of stimuli by receptors and include the location and structure of receptors, and describe how they react to stimuli. Address how the signal is passed from receptors into the CNS....include pathway and the eventual location of cortex that is able to interpret the sensation, leading to perception. Please include a comparison between these two special senses. How are gustation and olfaction similar, and how are they different?

What are these conditions below? please provide brief description of the conditions. What anatomical feature or physiological process is affected that leads to perceivable signs or symptoms?

Olfaction: Deviated septum causing obstruction of flow of air

Gustation: Burning mouth syndrome
