AFMCAFMC 2006

Solution:

Neuromast organs are little groups of receptor and supporting ectodermal cells found in the lateral line canals. Neuromast organs are current receptor or rheoreceptor and can precieve vibration of very low frequency.
Olfactoreceptors : These are organs of smells/odour. The olfactory area is located in temporal lobe of cerebrum. In mammals, nose is the organ of olfaction, of sense and olfactory cells are actually the bipolar neurons.
Gustatoreceptors : These are organs of taste and are chemoreceptors. The are located in tongue, pharynx and tonsillar pillars.
