Salt.
the receptors for table salt (NaCl) is an ion channel that allows sodium ions (Na+) to enter directly into the cell. This depolarizes it allowing calcium ions (Ca2+) to enter triggering the release of ATP at the synapse to the attached sensory neuron and generating an action potential in it. In lab animals, and perhaps in humans, the hormone aldosterone increases the number of these salt receptors. This makes good biological sense:
- The main function of aldosterone is to maintain normal sodium levels in the body.
- An increased sensitivity to sodium in its food would help an animal suffering from sodium deficiency.
Hope this helps.

The human tongue has many receptors specialized for?
The tongue's receptors are taste buds. They are specialized to detect flavors, and are divided into two types, sweet and bitter receptors. They can detect perceptions of flavors in five types; salty, sweet, bitter, sour, and umani (savory).
Are all taste buds equal receptors to all different primary tastes?
yes, taste can be sensed all around the mouth... Salty spicy and sour are ion channel modulated- so EVERY cell in the mouth can allay that taste the rest are all G protein coupled receptor based- and also most cells have this..
Are the eyes ears nose tongue and skin are sensory receptors?
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
Are the eyes nose tongue and skin sensory receptors?
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
Where are the receptors on the tongue?
There are different types of receptors on the tongue. The tongue has it's very own set of touch receptors. Plus thousands of taste receptors scattered all through out the tongue, mouth and throat. There is a myth that certain areas of the tongue taste certain flavors, but that is completely false. It stemmed from a poorly translated antiquated German model.

Where are the four taste receptors located?
Where exactly are taste buds located?Taste buds are everywhere on the tongue. Some areas of the tongue have more taste buds than the others though.For example, the tip of the tongue tastes sweet things e.g. Chocolates. Just to the right and left of the tip are the salty taste buds. After the salty ones are the sour ones.At the very back of tongue, the tongue tastes the bitter things. The middle of the tongue has only a few taste buds.MEDICAL TERMINOLOGYTaste receptors are located on taste buds from the tongue called papillae. There are 4 types of papillae:1. Filiform2. Fungiform3. Foliate4. CircumvallateTaste buds are located only on the Fungiform, Foliate and Circumvallate papillae only!
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.
Are eyes nose tongue and skin sensory receptors?
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
Are the eyes ears nose tongue and skin are sensory receptors?
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
Are the eyes nose tongue and skin sensory receptors?
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
What in your food causes the stimulation of salty receptors?
iodine.
When spicy food are eaten which receptors on the tongue are acttivated?
gustatory receptors
Why are bananas salty to you?
I think you have problem with your tongue, bananas aren't salty.
What are the sensory receptors for the tongue?
cheese
When we eat food we get its taste but when we close our nose and eat it why don't we get the taste?
This is probably the best question I've heard on this site so far. As you may of heard, your tongue has Four taste receptors, Sweet, Sour, Bitter, and Salty. (Some people consider spicy as a tongue sense as well) but if you eat something like a unsweetend cherry, your tongue really has no receptors for it. Foods that are sweet, sour, bitter, or salty all have a place on the tongue, however foods that do not fit in those categories only taste significant because of the nose. The nose, with the power of smells, generates the taste.
