What is the gustatory sense?
Gustatory receptors are also present in the mouths of animals. These are novel proteins which are able to recognize a variety of chemicals.
What is the function of receptors in human body?
The function of receptors is to check about the taste,smell,etc. In our human body there are two types of receptors and they are gustatory receptors and olfactory receptors where as gustatory receptors will detect taste and olfactory receptors will detect smell.
What cortex does the frontal lobe analyzes sensory information carried by nerve impulses from the tongue and taste receptors?
Gustatory
What are the receptor membranes of gustatory cells?
gustatory sense is also known as the taste sense.
The cells responsible for the sense of taste are the?
Gustatory cells
What type of receptors are olfactory and gustatory?
Olfactory receptors detect smells, and gustatory receptors detect tastes.
What is the gustatory sense?
Gustatory receptors are also present in the mouths of animals. These are novel proteins which are able to recognize a variety of chemicals.
What function of the gustatory receptors are parallel to what other receptors?
Olfactory receptors
What are the gustatory receptors sensitive to?
Gustatory receptors are found on the tongue and pharynx and are taste receptors. They sense particles of foodstuffs dissolved in saliva and provide us with the sense of taste.
When spicy food are eaten which receptors on the tongue are acttivated?
gustatory receptors
What is the relationship between olfactory and gustatory receptors?
Gustatory receptors are part of the sense of taste. They are in your mouth. Olfactory receptors are part of the sense of smell. They are in your nose.

Identify the taste receptors?
They are chemoreceptors called gustatory organs and they are on the surface of your tongue.
What cortex does the frontal lobe analyzes sensory information carried by nerve impulses from the tongue and taste receptors?
Gustatory
How does the taste functioning?
The tongue contains taste buds in the folds of papilla, the bumps on the tongue, that have gustatory receptors that can taste one of the six taste sensations (sweet, salty, sour, savory, bitter, and fat.) these signals are sent as electronic messaged from the gustatory receptors along neurons to the brain, which will give the sensation of taste.
What is punctuate distribution of cutaneous receptors?
Cutaneous Sensory Receptors are clustered in certain spots instead of being uniformly distributed. This clustering is called punctate distribution.
What are the different names of the receptors?
Taste - gustatory receptors (taste buds) Vision - optical receptors (retina and optic nerve) Hearing - phono receptors (cochlea - inner ear) Smell - olfactory receptors (nose) Touch - tactile receptors (skin, tongue) (Also : Heat - thermo receptors.)
