Suppose you are eating a dish with lot of chillies, your eyes may often fill with tears. If you drink a glass of hot water, it appears more hot for your tongue. Why is it so?
Never think that I know its answer. You find it for me :cheer:

There is a limit for enduring bitterness and hot or cold. Our entire body has limited strength. This is just made of bones and flesh. That is why police succeed to extract truth by torturing body beyond tolerance.
Also 'hotter' means 'more hot'. So, 'more' before 'hotter' is superfluous.

Yet, can you relate it with our taste buds????? :whistle:
Our oral cavity has taste buds which has receptors. Hence whenever we eat sweet , sour or hot food we immediately feel that taste. Suppose if u have already taken hot food and u take again some hot drink u feel more hot thats true its because the taste buds and mucosa in the buccal cavity is very sensitive. It can bear only particular amount of heat.
The same thing happens in your stomach which is surrounded by sensitive mucosa and hence u shouldnt have too hot food or drink other wise it leads to stomach ulcers.

Well,i think that Hot water, may spread the chilly favour in our mouth more rapids. This could be the reason.
I think it's a reasonable answer. Let Sheethal come. I hope she will find it easily
Yes it is true..Its is because of our sensitive mucosa all over cavity. It heat spreads immediately all over the oral cavity.

but what about 'mirchi' and 'hot'. What's the relation between these two? :evil:
Mirchi has red chilly flakes which irritates the normal lining of oral cavity which burns due to excess irritation. This leads to heat in the tissue and thats why we feel more hotter when we eat mirchi..
That means mirchy leads to hot.
But I think separate taste buds are there for mirchi and hotness :unsure:
My doubt not cleared yet :S

As i mentioned before there are different taste buds and receptors on our tongue. When we eat spicy or sweet foods the taste buds are immediately activated and thus we get taste to the food. Hence if u eat mirchi the receptors on the tongue immediately capture that heat through taste buds and we get hot and spicy taste from mirchi. But due to excess spiciness the lining of our oral cavity get damage. So this time if u eat spicy again the irritated mucosa will burn, taste buds will get activated and u will feel more spicy and hotness.

That's great information Sheetal.If i correlate it,it means chilly and hot things are alike for the taste buds of our tongue. :)
When we eat or drink a hot thing or spicy thing, the heat flows from it to our body and we feel its sensation. Our body is made up cells and cells are made up of molecules. At normal body temperature these molecules are in motion but when hot substance enters our body their motion gets accelerated causing vibrations which results in cell breaking and this breaking of cells gives us the hot burning sensation.

Is it physics or biology? :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
