Choose the sequence of events in order for how gustation is conveyed from beginning to end.
1)Taste bud detects tastant on anterior two third of tongue
2)Information travels to limbic system and hypothalamus,and to the thalamus
3)Gustatory nucleus in medulla receives information
4)First order neuron from facial nerve carries impulse
5)First order neuron from vagus nerve carries impulse
6)First order neuron from glossopharyngeal nerve carries impulse
7)Conscious perception of taste
8)Information is sent to the insula of the cerebral cortex

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sequence starts with the taste bud detecting the tastant on the anterior two third of the tongue (1) which is then carried by the first order neuron from the facial nerve (4) to the gustatory nucleus in the medulla (3). From there, the information is sent to the insula of the cerebral cortex (8) and also to the limbic system and hypothalamus and to the thalamus (2) before conscious perception of taste occurs (7). The first order neuron from the vagus nerve (5) and from the glossopharyngeal nerve (6) are not mentioned in the sequence.
