The sensory process that is most activated when a person is tasting food that is extremely salty is Chemoreception. Chemoreception refers to the perception of chemical stimuli, such as taste and smell, by specialized receptor cells in the mouth and nose. It is responsible for allowing us to taste the saltiness of food and for detecting other flavors and aromas

.Rods and cones are photoreceptor cells found in the retina of the eye that are responsible for vision and the perception of light and dark.

Photoreception refers to the detection of light by the eye and the processing of visual information by the brain.

Absolute threshold is the minimum amount of stimulation that a person can detect 50% of the time. It can refer to any of the five senses, including vision, hearing, touch, taste, and smell.
