Which structures are located in taste buds and have sensory receptors?

• Papillae

• Taste receptor cells

• Smell cells

• Olfactory cells

What are the openings in taste buds called?

• Taste pores

• Taste holes

• Taste indentations

• Taste hairs

What happens when a taste receptor cell is stimulated?

• Gag reflex is initiated

• The hairs move back and forth from excitement

• Nothing

• An impulse is triggered on a nearby nerve fiber

What do gustatory cells respond to?

• Chemicals dissolved in mucus

• Chemicals dissolved in saliva

• Dry chemicals

• Wind gusts

What are the basic tastes?

• Umami, Sugar, Savoury, bitter, sour

• Salty, Savoury, Bitter, Sweet, Umami

• Sweet, Salty, Bitter, Savory, Sour

• Bitter, Sour, Umami, Sugar, Salty

Once transduction has occured, the next process is...

• The gustatory cortex receiving information about the tastant in order to create a taste

• The signals are transmitted to the brain through nerves attached to the taste receptor

• Perception of taste occurs in the gustatory cortex

• Perception occurs

The last process of taste sensation to taste perception is?

• Perception of taste occurs in the gustatory cortex

• Perception of taste occurs in the taste bud

• The nerve cells receive the tastant

• The gustatory hair transmits the tastant to the gustatory cortex and then perception occurs
