Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Taste signals are transduced by taste receptors and then sent to the brain via several cranial nerves, including the facial nerve (VII), the glossopharyngeal nerve (IX), and the vagus nerve (X), depending on the location of the taste receptors in the mouth. These nerves collectively contribute to the transmission of taste information to the brain, including the thalamus.
