What are the biological mechanisms associated with taste?
... • Tastants stimulate receptor molecules on the surface of the cilia. • Each receptor cell detects 1 of 5 tastes: sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami. • When the receptor cells are stimulated by tastants, action potentials are triggered that pass down axons of the facial (front of tongue), glossop ...
