what is the stimulus of taste?
do i just say when something touches your tongue. i don't know how to explain it.
for smell, i put odors and chemicals. is that right?
for vision, i put light, color, movement?
i need help on taste, itching, pain, pressure, temperature stimulus.
for temperature, do i put cold and heat.
For taste, our taste buds differentiate between salt, bitter, sour, sweet. Those are the sources of all types of "tastes".
I searched Google under the key words "human sense stimuli" to get these possible sources:

For vision, the wavelengths of the light determine the perceived color and the amplitude of the waves determine the perceived intensity. Changes in these on receptor cells (rods and cones) could be perceived as movement.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
The stimulus of taste is the chemical substances that come into contact with the taste buds on our tongue. When we eat or drink something, the molecules in that food or drink interact with the taste receptor cells on our taste buds, sending signals to our brain which we perceive as specific tastes, such as sweet, sour, bitter, or salty.
For itching, the stimulus is usually a physical irritation of the skin. It can be caused by various factors such as insect bites, allergic reactions, or dry skin. Itching is a response to these stimuli and is usually relieved by scratching the affected area.
The stimulus of pain is typically tissue damage or injury. When certain nerve endings called nociceptors are activated, they send signals to our brain, which we perceive as pain. Pain can be caused by factors such as physical injury, inflammation, or disease.
The stimulus of pressure is the force applied to our body or a specific area. It can be caused by external objects pressing against the skin or internal forces within our body. Receptors in our skin and tissues detect these pressures and send signals to our brain, allowing us to perceive and respond to them.
For temperature, the stimulus is changes in heat or coldness. Temperature receptors in our skin and internal organs detect changes in temperature and send signals to our brain. This allows us to sense and respond to different temperatures, such as feeling cold or hot.
I hope this explanation helps clarify the various stimuli for taste, itching, pain, pressure, and temperature.
