Aim: To prove that palate plays a major role in recognizing taste.
Apparatus: Sugar crystals, stop watch.
Procedure:
- Place some sugar crystals on your tongue keep your mouth opened and see that your tongue does not touch the palate.
- Record the time from the movement you placed the crystals on your tongue till you got the taste by using stop watch.
- Now repeat the test by placing the sugar crystals on your tongue and pressing it against the palate till you got the taste by using stop watch.
Observation: The taste is identified easily when tongue is pressed against the palate.
Inference: When the tongue is pressed against the palate the food substance is easily entered into taste buds. The receptors form the taste sigals. Finally taste is recognised in the brain.
