the sweet and salty receptors are the weakest, while bitter is the most sensitive.

What is taste threshold?
Your taste threshold is the lowest concentration of a solution that a person can still taste.
Taste receptor cells are modified as what kind of cells?
Taste receptor cells are modified epithelial cells.
What is the receptor of a reflex arc?
Sensory receptor located at the distal end of a neuron or an associated sensory structure. When stimulated it creates a receptor potential, when that reaches its threshold, it will trigger 1 or more nerve impulses in the sensory neuron.
Do taste buds contain receptor cells?
No they dont
Gustatory cells are found in this structure?
gustatorx receptor cell is a part of the taste bud,which recepts the taste.
What is taste threshold?
Your taste threshold is the lowest concentration of a solution that a person can still taste.
Why people have a different taste threshold from someone else?
why people have a different taste threshold from someone else or even have different density of receptors whithin our body? The receptor density is different. I think it's due to genetics bumping into environmental history. For example, I'd bet that flame swallowers have a reduced receptor density. Some people can taste X while others can't, and often the difference is due to genetics.
What are the sensory reseptors for taste?
A taste receptor
Taste receptor cells are modified as what kind of cells?
Taste receptor cells are modified epithelial cells.
What is the receptor for taste?
tastebuds or just the tongue
WhatConversion of a stimulus into a generator potential is?
Receptor potential, a type of graded potential, is the transmembrane potential difference of a sensory receptor. A receptor potential is often produced by sensory transduction. It is generally a depolarizing event resulting from inward current flow. The influx of current will often bring the membrane potential of the sensory receptor towards the threshold for triggering an action potential. A receptor potential is a form of graded potential, as is a generator potential. It arises when the receptors of a stimulus are separate cells. An example of this is in a taste bud, where taste is converted into an electrical signal sent to the brain. When stimulated the taste bud triggers the release of neurotransmitter through exocytosis of synaptic vesicles from the presynaptic membrane. The neurotransmitter molecules diffuse across the synaptic cleft to the postsynaptic membrane. A postsynaptic potential is then produced in the first order neuron, and if the stimulus is strong enough to reach threshold this may generate an action potential which may propagate along the axon into the central nervous system
What form of energy come into the receptor of taste?
Farts
The sense of taste depends on?
microvilli of receptor cells
What is the receptor of a reflex arc?
Sensory receptor located at the distal end of a neuron or an associated sensory structure. When stimulated it creates a receptor potential, when that reaches its threshold, it will trigger 1 or more nerve impulses in the sensory neuron.
Do taste buds contain receptor cells?
No they dont
What has the author William Herbert Stahl written?
William Herbert Stahl has written: 'Compilation of odor and taste threshold values data' -- subject(s): Smell, Tables, Taste, Threshold
What is subliminal threshold?
subliminal threshold means the stimuli that are too weak or too brief to be consciously seen or heard may nevertheless be strong enough to be perceived one or more receptor cells.
