It is also hypothesized that when a subject is condition a certain olfaction of jellybean to sample they will remember the audition of the like toneed jellybean with the shade damage. A brief overview of the experiment is as follows. Eight subjects will be tried for their sense of gustatory sensation. They were given four dissimilar qualitys of jellybeans to judgement twice, once with a dig plug and once without. Group one was asked to examine the eldest hell dust of a jel lybean with the dig plugged first.Then they were given the same flavor of jellybean to hold without the prod plug. The same procedure was utilize with the be terzetto flavors. In contrast, group devil was given the jellybean to savouring without the nose plug first and with the nose plug second. The four flavors of the jellybeans were admirationd in this entrap marshm every(prenominal)ow, lemon, pear, licorice. The results for each independent vari commensurate are as follows. The nose plug did affect the stress of the jellybean. But, group two did not remember the taste of the jellybean when the nose was unplugged. In both groups, taste was affected and flavors were not tardily guessed. scriptural ReferenceTaste Taste and see that the LORD is good blessed is the man who takes base hit in him. Psalm 348 (NIV) I chose this Bible poetize because it is very important that as Christians we actively seek God in all things. Even though we really do not taste God, we need t o thirst for His Word and love. In return, we will see that He is good, we receive His blessing, and find that He is our refuge. Smell The LORD tasteed the pleasing aroma and said in His nub Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I down done. Genesis 821 (NIV) God uses His senses like we do. He created us in His own stunt woman and made us to lease senses. God finds obedience to be pleasing just as we count on the smell of red roses is pleasant to our nose. Research The human personify was created by God to have five different detected senses taste, smell, hearing, touch, and sight. Taste and smell are the two senses that people have to help us enjoy nutrition. They are separate, just now also related. ofttimestimes can be learned about the correlation between taste and smell and how they affect each another(prenominal). Taste is the sen se that comes from food molecules mournful the taste buds on the tongue.The taste buds send signals to the brain which therefore translates the signals into a taste. Taste buds are nerve receptors on the tongue and palate. Different separate of the tongue have specific receptors for different types of tastes. There are thousands of taste buds on the tongue, each with a surface opening called a taste pore. At the base, microvilli sensors pick up the molecule. The molecule gets changed by sensory cells of the taste bud into a nerve impulse. The signal gets sent to the brain by dint of the glossopharyngeal nerve to the brainstem, then to the thalamus, and on to the forebrain. That signal is translated to specific taste (Swindle, Mark). On the tongue, different tastes are picked up on different part of the tongue. First, the sweet taste buds occur on the outside part of the tongue. A second kind is salty taste buds that are determined on the back outside portion of the tongue. Last ly, the bitter taste buds are located in the far back of the tongue. There are some taste buds on the palate that pick up different tastes (Smith, David). Smell, on the other hand, is the sense that comes from flavor molecules attaching to the olfactory nerve. Air carries the smell into the nose. Then odor contacts the olfactory nerve at the top of the nasal passages.The the olfactory nerves send a signal to the olfactory bulb of the brain, and the nerve sends a signal to the front of the brain. The forebrain translates the signals of the odor into a specific smell (Swindle, Mark). Smell and taste are so interrelated that many scientists call in that taste is about 80% of aroma and 20% actual taste (American Academy of Otolaryngology). It changes as people age, the sense of smell seems to be wear in adults than in kids. Usually at age 60 or over, adults may get off to lose their sense of smell. Scientists have proven that women have a better sense of smell than men.People who h ave head injuries often lose their sense of smell and lose weight because the taste of the food they eat has been impaired through the injury. Also, people with sinus problems or upper respiratory problems lose weight because of a decreased sense of smell and appetite (American Academy of Otolaryngology). In previous studies, Frank and Byrams word suggest that taste and smell interactions are dependent on taste and odor. In their experiments, they gave subjects hemangioma simplex whipped salve while pinching their nose and then hemangioma simplex mark cream not pinching their nose.The addition of smell to taste made the strawberry whip cream seem 85% sweeter. The same experiment was used, but with peanut butter flavored whip cream. It was found that peanut butter odor did not enhance sweetness. They then evaluated the same people with salted strawberry whip cream, and found that the odor did not increase the sweetness. This suggested that sweetness is both taste and odor depend ent. The experiment with salted strawberry whip cream proves that the sense of smell is a dependent factor in a person experiencing the full sense of taste (Frank, Robert). HypothesisWhen the nose is plugged and the olfactory system is impaired, taste will be affected. Each of the eight subjects will be tested on four different flavors of jellybean, once with the nose plugged and once with the nose unplugged. The four flavors tested in order were marshmallow, lemon, pear, and licorice. People in group one will have a nose plug on during the first taste. They will be impaired to taste and guess the flavor of the jelly bean. At the second guarantee to taste without the nose plug, they will be able to taste easily and be able to guess the flavor of the jellybean. Group two, will start by not having the nose plugged.This group will be able to taste easily and easily guess the flavor of the jellybean. When the plug is then placed on the subjects nose, they will be able to taste because they already know the real taste from memory. Materials List -Log volume -Pencil -Jelly Beans -2 Marshmallow, 2 dirty dog, 2 Pear, 2 liquorice flavored jellybeans -Towel as blindfold -Baggies -Eight demonstrate Subjects -Nose ballyhoo -Charts -Water Procedure To set up this experiment, eight human subjects were call for for evaluation. Each person was tested for their sense of taste and smell. The subjects were split into two evaluation groups.The first group was given a blindfold and a nose plug. They were given a jellybean to taste. They were asked the following questions What flavor do you think this is? Is it sweet, sour, or bitter? After the tester recorded the data, the subjects were asked to remove the nose plug. They were given the same flavor of jellybean and asked the same questions. This same procedure was used for the remaining three flavors of jellybeans. The data was recorded and the results compared. The second group was given a blind fold, but asked to taste th e jellybean without the nose plug first. They were asked the same questions as group one.Data was recorded. Then they were given the nose plug and asked to taste and evaluate the same flavor of jellybean. This same procedure was used for the remaining three flavors of jellybeans. Data again was recorded and results compared. The four different types of jelly beans given were in this order marshmallow, lemon, pear, and licorice.

Number of right guesses of jellybean flavor with nose plug after already tasting jellybean without nose plug= 1 out of 16. The first part of the hypothesis stated that impairing the sense of smell with a nose plug would affect the taste of the jellybeans. Almost half of the flavors were guessed when given without smell impairment compared to three flavors guessed when smell was impaired. This supports the hypothesis that when smell is impaired taste is affected. The nose plug did affect the taste of the jellybeans.The hypothesis also stated that the subjects would remember the actual taste of the jellybean by memory when first given a certain flavor with no smell impairment and then given the same flavor with impairment of smell. Only 1 out of 16 guesses were accurate. Therefore, group two did not remember the taste of the same flavored jellybean when given the nose plug. In conclusion, the hypothesis was partially supported.
