Taste buds can sense sweet, salt, bitter, and sour. They can sense texture, like creamy, rough, and so forth. Everything else associated with flavor is a result of aroma which is sense by olfactory cells.
Flavors on the tongue are possible when the taste buds sense different amount of salt, sweet, sour, and bitter. You can try an experiment . . . block your nostrils with cotton balls, then have someone dab different foods on your tongue. You should be amazed at how little you can tell about taste without using your nose.

What are the different senses of our body?
Sensory receptors are defined as dendrites of sensory neurons specialized for receiving specific kinds of stimuli without which we would not live long. The four general sense receptors are pain receptors, temperature receptors, touch receptors, and taste and smell receptors.
What are the sensory receptors that are responsible for sensations of smell and taste?
chemoreceptors
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 impulses are transmitted by the sense of smell?
The smell receptors are called olfactory nerves
What are know as the 'chemical senses'?
Chemical senses are senses that require chemicals to stimulate them. Taste and smell are both chemical senses. All other senses are considered mechanical or electrical.
What are taste and smell receptors classified as?
Chemoreceptors.
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.
How is taste detected?
Taste and smell receptors are activated by chemicals.
What are receptors that mediate the senses of smell and taste?
Chemoreceptors
Why are taste and smell receptors classified as Chemoreceptors because they both respond to?
Chemoreceptors (chemical receptors) respond to chemicals in food and scents.
Sour taste receptors are stimulated by hydrogen ions of acidic food substances?
TRUE
What type of sensory receptors associated with smell and taste?
Chemoreceptors

What three receptors a mouse would use to detect food under natural conditions?
sight and smell , taste :)

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 occurs when beta receptors are stimulated?
When beta receptors are stimulated, it decreases the heart rate to treat for low blood pressure.
