Question

Why we can't detect the taste of food if a nose is closed?

Answer 1

Hi friend,

•This is because our olfactory receptors(smell receptors) and gustatory receptors (taste receptors ) have an interconnection .

If we close our nose then because of the smell receptors being closed taste receptors are also affected. And this is the case which happens when we have cold and cough.

Hope this helps you.:)

Answer 2

because when closed the nose the oxygen which we take was not supply then we breath our self from mouth and when we breath from mouth we can't no the taste of food
