Explanation:

The senses of smell and taste are directly related because they both use the same types of receptors. The senses of smell and taste combine at the back of the throat. When you taste something before you smell it, the smell lingers internally up to the nose causing you to smell it.
If one’s sense of smell is not functional, then the sense of taste will also not function because of the relationship of the receptors.
