The sensory receptors found in the nose and on the tongue are:

Nose: Olfactory receptors

Tongue: Gustatory receptors

Olfactory receptors are found in the olfactory epithelium, which is a thin layer of tissue that lines the upper part of the nasal cavity. Gustatory receptors are found in taste buds, which are located on the tongue, soft palate, and pharynx.
