Taste and other mouth sensations contribute to ____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Taste and other mouth sensations (such as texture, temperature, and aroma) contribute to satiety, or the feeling of fullness and satisfaction after a meal. This can help regulate food intake and prevent overeating. Hunger and thirst are primarily regulated by physiological mechanisms such as hormones and fluid balance. While taste can influence food choices and thus potentially contribute to overeating, it is not the primary driving factor.
