Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence for the sensation pathway for taste starts with primary axons passing along cranial nerves VII (facial nerve) and IX (glossopharyngeal nerve) (A), then these primary neurons synapse in the nucleus solitarius (B), followed by secondary neurons synapsing in the thalamus (C), and finally, tertiary neurons travel to the cerebral gustatory cortex (D).
