2.) Explain why devising an odor classification scheme has proven difficult
and compare and contrast the methods of classification mentioned in your book. 3.) Trace the neurological process of olfaction through the olfactory epithelium
once an odorous vapor has reached this tissue. 4.) Explain how olfactory sensory neurons differ from receptor neurons in the
eyes and ears. 5.) Continue to trace the neurological pathway once the stimuli has left the

can sometimes be difficult. 8.) Explain what is meant by the "common chemical sense" and discuss
its importance to olfaction. 9.) Explain what is meant by anosmia. Specify the potential causes as well
as consequences of this disorder. 10.) Describe the location of the taste receptors in the mouth and explain
in detail the makeup of a single taste bud. 11.) Explain the cross-fiber theory of taste quality. 12.) Discuss the factors that influence the detection and identification of
