Taste Buds And Your Nose! Have you ever wondered why food tastes so good? Your taste buds are a big help! Taste buds are sensory organs that are found on your tongue and help you to experience tastes that are sweet, salty, sour and bitter. So, how do taste buds work? Look in the mirror and stick out your tongue. You will see a bunch of bumps. The bumps are called papillae and most of them contain taste buds! Taste buds have sensitive microscopic hairs called microvilli. These tiny hairs send messages to the brain about how something tastes! The average person has around 10,000 taste buds which are replaced every two weeks or so. But, as a person ages, some of the taste buds don’t get replaced. An older person may only have half as many taste buds. That’s why some foods may taste stronger to you then they do to older adults. Did you know that smoking can also reduce the number of taste buds a person has? Your taste buds don’t work alone! They work with your nose. Olfactory receptors inside the uppermost part of your nose contain special cells that help you smell. They send messages to the brain too. While you are chewing, the food releases chemicals that immediately travel up into your nose. These chemicals trigger the olfactory receptors inside your nose. These receptors work with your taste buds to create the true flavor of what you’re eating by telling your brain all about it! When you have a cold or allergies, and your nose is stuffy, you will notice that your food doesn’t have much flavor. That’s because the upper part of your nose isn’t clear to receive the chemicals that trigger the olfactory receptors! If you hold your nose the next time you eat something, you will notice that your taste buds are able to tell your brain about something you’re eating - that its sweet or sour but you won’t be able to pick the exact flavor until you let go of that nose of yours!

Taste Testing Without Smell Experiment We all know that some foods taste better than others but what gives us the ability to experience all these unique flavors? This simple experiment shows that there's a lot more to taste than you might have first thought. What you'll need: A small piece of peeled potato A small piece of peeled apple (same shape as the potato so you can't tell the difference) Instructions: Close your eyes and mix up the piece of potato and the piece of apple so you don't know which is which. Hold your nose and eat each piece, can you tell the difference? What's happening? Holding your nose while tasting the potato and apple makes it hard to tell the difference between the two. Your nose and mouth are connected through the same airway which means that you taste and smell foods at the same time. Your sense of taste can recognize salty, sweet, bitter and sour but when you combine this with your sense of smell you can recognize many other individual 'tastes'. Take away your smell (and sight) and you limit your brains ability to tell the difference between certain foods.

Coloring Corner Celebrate Earth Day On April 22nd!

Earth Day is the name used for two observances both held worldwide every year! Some people celebrate Earth Day around the time of the March equinox and others observe it on April 22nd. The April 22nd Earth Day was founded by Senator Gaylord Nelson in 1970 to promote ecology and respect for life on the planet. It was to also encourage awareness of the growing problems of air, water and soil pollution. Today Earth Day is observed in more than 140 countries around the world.
