Why do you often lose your sense of taste when you have a bad cold and are very congested?
a. Because everything that you breathe passes your tongue, and so if you can't breathe through your nose the taste receptors on the back of the tongue will not get the sensory information needed for a taste sensation.
b. Because both smell and taste use the same chemicals for sensory reception.
c. Because the back of the mouth cavity is connected to the nasal cavity.
d. Because the olfactory processing centers of the brain are located right next to the gustatory processing centers.
