Question

Both taste and smell sensations rely on the binding of ligands to specific receptors. In order for these ligands to bind, they must move through a fluid medium (saliva for taste and mucus in the nasal cavity for smell). Therefore, both senses rely on the movement of ligands through a fluid interface.
