1. Taste and _______ go together.

Explanation

Taste and smell are closely related senses that work together to enhance our perception of flavor. When we eat, the molecules from the food stimulate our taste buds, which can only detect basic tastes like sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. However, it is our sense of smell that allows us to differentiate between different flavors and fully experience the taste of food. The aroma of food travels from the back of the throat to the olfactory receptors in the nose, providing us with additional information about the food's taste. Therefore, taste and smell are interconnected and complement each other in our sensory experience of food.

2. What is the taste of chocolate cake?

3. Fred's nose is blocked with mucus. Which do you think might have caused it?

Explanation

Fred's nose is blocked with mucus, which is a common symptom of being sick. When someone gets sick, their body produces more mucus as a defense mechanism to trap and remove pathogens. This excess mucus can cause nasal congestion and blockage. Therefore, it is likely that Fred's blocked nose is caused by him getting sick.

Submit
4. The mucous membrane gives off a sticky fluid called _____.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Mucus". The mucous membrane, also known as the mucus membrane, produces a sticky fluid called mucus. Mucus is a thick, slimy substance that helps to lubricate and protect various organs and tissues in the body. It plays a crucial role in trapping and removing foreign particles, such as dust and bacteria, from the respiratory and digestive systems.

5. Greg passed by a garden. Suddenly the inner side of his nose became swollen. What does this mean?

Explanation

This answer suggests that Greg's swollen nose is likely due to allergies. Allergies can cause inflammation in the nasal passages, leading to symptoms such as swelling, congestion, and runny nose. This explanation aligns with the given information that Greg passed by a garden, as gardens can contain various allergens such as pollen, mold, or dust mites that can trigger allergic reactions.

6. Glossitisis caused by lack of vitamins. Which kinds of foods should you eat to prevent this?

Explanation

Carrots are a good source of vitamins, especially vitamin A, which is essential for maintaining healthy gums and preventing glossitis. Consuming foods rich in vitamins can help prevent glossitis, as it is often caused by a deficiency in certain vitamins. Pizza and chocolate do not provide the necessary vitamins to prevent glossitis.

7. The eraser was still stuck in Kevin's nose after he blew hard. What should he do next?

Explanation

Leaving the eraser stuck in Kevin's nose could potentially cause further complications or injuries. Blowing harder may not be effective and could potentially cause more harm. Therefore, the best course of action would be to call a doctor who can safely remove the eraser from Kevin's nose.

Submit
8. What would happen if the nostrils had no tiny hair?

Explanation

If the nostrils had no tiny hair, they would not be able to filter out dust, allergens, and other particles in the air that we breathe. This would make it easier for harmful substances to enter our respiratory system, increasing the risk of getting sick. The tiny hairs in the nostrils play an important role in trapping and preventing these particles from entering our lungs, so without them, our immune system would be more vulnerable to infections and illnesses.

Submit
9. Which is NOT a function of the nasal cavity?

Explanation

The nasal cavity is responsible for allowing air in and out of the body and contains a mucous membrane that helps to filter and humidify the air. However, it is not involved in sending messages to the brain. The olfactory receptors in the nasal cavity play a role in detecting smells, but the actual transmission of these messages to the brain occurs through the olfactory nerve.

Submit
10. What part of the nose are you able to see?

Explanation

The bridge of the nose is the part that is visible on the face. It is the bony structure that connects the upper part of the nose to the forehead. The bridge is located between the eyes and is the part that is most easily seen when looking at someone's face.

Submit
12. What is the taste of cheese?

Explanation

Cheese is typically known for its salty taste. This is because cheese is made from milk, which contains natural salts. During the cheese-making process, these salts are concentrated, resulting in the salty flavor. Additionally, some types of cheese, such as feta or blue cheese, are intentionally salted during the aging process to enhance their flavor. Therefore, the correct answer is salty.

Submit
13. Where are the nerves located that detect chemicals that cause smell?

Explanation

The nerves that detect chemicals that cause smell are located at the roof of the nasal cavity. This is where the olfactory epithelium is located, which contains specialized cells called olfactory receptor cells. These cells have tiny hair-like structures called cilia that extend into the nasal cavity and are responsible for detecting and transmitting signals about different smells to the brain.

Submit
14. Kevin was playing with an eraser. Suddenly it got stuck in his nose. What should he do FIRST?

Explanation

Kevin should blow hard first to try to dislodge the eraser from his nose. Blowing hard can create enough force to push the object out of the nasal passage. However, if blowing hard does not work, he should seek medical help by calling a doctor. Leaving it alone may not be the best option as it can lead to further complications.

Submit
15. What should you do FIRST if your nose bleeds?

Explanation

When your nose bleeds, the first thing you should do is bend slightly forward. This is because bending forward helps to prevent blood from flowing down the back of your throat, which can cause you to swallow blood and potentially irritate your stomach. By bending forward, you allow the blood to flow out of your nose instead.
