The document summarizes the senses of taste and smell. It discusses how smell (olfaction) is detected by receptors in the nasal cavity that can detect up to 50 sensations. It also discusses how taste (gustation) is detected by taste buds on the tongue and palate that can detect five primary tastes: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami. Both senses rely on receptors interacting with chemicals in fluids and sending signals to the brain for interpretation.
