These are all receptors that react to certain kinds of stimuli. The chemoreceptors react when there are changes in chemical concentrations within the body; the mechanoreceptors detect pressure or distorted stimuli; and the nocioreceptors send signals of pain to the spinal cord and brain. 

Spicy food actually does not have a specific location in the taste buds of the tongue. This is the reason why it is not considered a flavor but rather a sensation. Spicy food stimulates the release of chemicals and signals to the brain which are detected by these different kinds of receptors.

The time it takes for food to travel through the gastrointestinal tract varies between _____hours.
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Between 6 to 8 hours

Explanation:

The gastriointestinal tract refers to the entire digestive system, starting at the mouth, and ending at the anus. After food enters through the mouth, it travels through the esophagus, into the stomach. After that, it moves into the duodenum, then the jejunum, and finally the ilium (collectively referred to as the small intestine). Finally it moves into the cecum, then to the colon, and finally the rectum (collectively referred to as the large intestine), where it exits out the body through the anus.

The length of this process varies due to stress, metabolism, and even sleep.
