U nedavnoj anketi,
00:01
a majority of respondents picked their sense of smell
1
1289
3170
većina učesnika je izabrala čulo mirisa
00:04
as the one they'd be most willing to give up
2
4459
2544
kao ono kog bi se najlakše odrekli
00:07
among the traditional five senses.
3
7045
2293
među pet tradicionalnih čula.
00:09
But if you love food,
4

1960
Međutim, ako volite hranu,
00:11
you should be giving your nose much more credit.
5
11382
2711
trebalo bi da svoj nos mnogo više cenite.
00:14
Because it’s actually our sense of smell
6
14135
3086
Jer je zapravo naše čulo mirisa
00:17
that plays a huge role in our ability to process flavor.
7
17263
4338
ono koje igra ogromnu ulogu u našoj sposobnosti da obrađujemo ukus.

First, let's talk about how smell works,
9
25730
2669
Prvo, da vidimo kako miris funkcioniše,
00:28
from coffee to stinky trash.
10
28441
2711
od kafe do smrdljivog smeća.
00:31
The substances around us give off volatiles,
11
31152
3128
Supstance oko nas ispuštaju isparljive materije,
00:34
which you can think of as tiny smell molecules.
12
34322
2753
koje možete zamisliti kao sitne molekule mirisa.
00:37
We breathe in these smell molecules,
13
37116
2878
Mi udišemo ove molekule mirisa,
00:40
which then stimulate the olfactory sensory neurons
14
40036
3170
koji zatim stimulišu olfaktorne senzorne nervne ćelije
00:43
that sit high in the nose.
15
43247
1418
koje se nalaze visoko u nosu.
00:44
Each of these neurons contains an odor receptor on its surface.
16
44707
4129
Svaka od ovih nervnih ćelija sadrži receptor mirisa na svojoj površini.
00:48
Once the odor receptors are triggered by these smell molecules,
17
48836
4630
Kada se receptori mirisa pokrenu zahvaljujući ovim molekulima mirisa,
00:53
the neurons send information about them to the brain.
18
53508
3253
nervne ćelije šalju informacije o njima našem mozgu.
00:56
Here's what I think is so cool.
19
56803
2585
Evo šta mislim da je baš sjajno.
00:59
The brain not only categorizes that information as a particular odor,
20
59388
4255
Mozak ne samo da kategoriše ovu informaciju kao naročit miris,
01:03
it may also begin to associate feelings,
21
63684
3129
već može početi da povezuje osećanja,
01:06
like pleasure or disgust and other moods and emotions with that odor
22
66813
5380
poput zadovoljstva ili gađenja i drugih raspoloženja i osećanja sa datim mirisom
01:12
for future reference.
23
72235
1418
za ubuduće.
01:13
For example, you sniff bacon, you eat it,
24
73694
4130
Recimo, pomirišete slaninu, pojedete je,
01:17
your taste buds get salt,
25
77865
1919
vaši receptori ukusa prime so,
01:19
and then your body gets a whack of fat,
26
79784
2127
i onda vaše telo oseti masnoću,
01:21
which is an energy source.
27
81953
1501
što predstavlja izvor energije.
01:23
So the brain loves it and attaches a positive label to it.
28
83496
4046
Pošto to mozak voli, prikači mu pozitivnu etiketu.
01:27
The next time you smell bacon,
29
87583
2378
Sledeći put kada pomirišete slaninu,
01:30
a sensation associated with pleasure arises.
30
90002
3337
senzacija vezana za zadovoljsto se pojavljuje.
01:33
Now, there are a lot of smells out there,
31
93381
2461
Sad, postoji dosta mirisa oko nas,
01:35
more than our 400 or so odor receptors can detect.
32
95842
3712
više nego što naših otprilike 400 receptora mirisa može prepoznati.
01:39
But people with a healthy working sense of smell
33
99554
3378
Međutim, ljudi sa normalnim, funkcionalnim čulom mirisa
01:42
have odor receptors that can combine
34
102974
2711
imaju receptore mirisa koji se kombinuju
01:45
to detect anywhere between 10,000
35
105726
3129
tako da prepoznaju sve između 10,000
01:48
to more than a trillion different odors.
36
108896
2795
i više od biliona različitih mirisa.
01:51
Now, taste is completely different.
37
111691
1960
Ipak, ukus je potpuno različit.
01:53
It comes from taste receptors on our tongues and in our mouths.
38
113693
4296
On dolazi iz receptora ukusa na našem jeziku i u našim ustima.
01:58
Taste is limited to the basics: salty, sweet, bitter, sour
39
118030
5548
Ukus je ograničen u suštini na: slano, slatko, gorko, kiselo
02:03
and, somewhat controversially, umami or savory.
40
123578
3253
i, pomalo kontroverzno, umami ili prijatan ukus.
02:06
You can taste without smell,
41
126873
2002
Možete imati ukus bez mirisa,
02:08
but anyone with a stuffy nose can attest
42
128916
3170
ali bilo ko sa začepljenim nosem može reći
02:12
that's a pretty bland experience.
43
132128
2169
da je to prilično bezukusno iskustvo.
02:14
That's because when we eat, for example, chewing pizza,
44
134338
3712
To je zato što kada jedemo, na primer, dok žvaćemo picu,
02:18
the pizza releases volatiles that travel from our mouths and throat
45
138050
4755
pica ispušta isparljive materije koje putuju od naših usta i grla
02:22
up through the nasal passage.
46
142847
1710
kroz nosnu šupljinu.
02:24
There, olfactory neurons get all the complex smells from the pizza
47
144557
4630
Tamo, olfaktorne nervne ćelije dobijaju sve složene mirise od pice
02:29
and send that information to the brain.
48
149228
1961
i šalju tu informaciju mozgu.
02:31
The smell and taste work together to help us enjoy food.
49
151189
4337
Miris i ukus sarađuju kako bi nam pomogli da uživamo u hrani.
02:35
When our nose isn't working properly and food seems flavorless,
50
155568
3545
Kada naš nos ne funkcioniše ispravno i hrana se čini bezukusnom,
02:39
it's because we're only tasting those basic tastes
51
159155
3545
to je zato što samo osećamo ove osnovne ukuse
02:42
without any of the complex odors detected through smell.
52
162742
2961
bez ikakvih složenih mirisa koje naše čulo prepoznaje.
02:45
So the next time you savor an amazing flavor,
53
165745
3753
Tako da sledeći put kada uživate u nekom sjajnom ukusu,
02:49
thank your nose.
54
169498
1168
zahvalite se svom nosu.
02:50
Our sense of smell is what brings nuance to what we eat.
55
170708
4004
Naše čulo mirisa je to što donosi nijanse onome što jedemo.
