Discussion Post

Overview

  1. You have probably heard that when a person loses their vision, their other senses compensate, for example, the sense of hearing increases. Is there any scientific evidence to back this up, or is this just a myth? Explain.
  2. A lot of people who have lost the sense of smell also say that they lose some of their sense of taste. Why do you think there is a link between taste and smell, looking at it anatomically?
  3. You have company coming over, so you decide to deodorize your room with a spray air freshener. A few minutes later your friend walks in and says “your house smells so clean”. You notice that you can no longer smell the scent after being in the room for a while. Explain this phenomenon.
