Sour receptors are primarily stimulated by the presence of acidic compounds, specifically hydrogen ions. When these compounds come into contact with taste buds on the tongue, they trigger the sensation of sourness. Common sour-tasting foods include citrus fruits like lemons and sour candies.

How are taste and smell receptors stimulated?
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 type of receptor does not trigger a sensation?
Silent receptors are a type of receptor that do not trigger a sensation when stimulated, even though they are capable of detecting stimuli. These receptors do not send signals to the brain to generate a conscious perception.
What happens when a neuron is stimulated by another neuron?
When a neuron is stimulated by another neuron, an action potential is generated and travels down the axon of the stimulated neuron. This action potential triggers the release of neurotransmitters at the synapse, which then binds to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, leading to either excitation or inhibition of the postsynaptic neuron.
What stimulates sensory impulses at receptors?
Sensory impulses at receptors are typically stimulated by specific environmental stimuli such as light, sound, touch, temperature, or chemicals. These stimuli activate specialized receptors on sensory neurons, which then generate neural signals that are transmitted to the brain for further processing and interpretation.
How does the mouth react to sour food?
When sour food enters the mouth, taste receptors on the tongue send signals to the brain, which interprets this sensation as sour. This usually triggers salivation in an attempt to dilute and neutralize the acidity in the mouth. Additionally, the sour taste can stimulate taste buds and increase sensory perception.
Sour taste receptors are stimulated by hydrogen ions of acidic food substances?
Yes, that's correct. Sour taste receptors on the taste buds are stimulated by the presence of hydrogen ions in acidic food substances. When these ions bind to specific receptors on taste cells, they generate a signal that is sent to the brain, which we perceive as sour taste.
Receptors stimulated by changes in temperature?
Thermoreceptors
What receptors are stimulated when their hairs are bent?
Mechanoreceptors
What receptors are stimulated during urination?
Nerve receptors are stimulated during urination. This stimulation occurs when the walls of the bladder contract and the urination reflex is automatically activated.
What happens when the receptors in the skin are stimulated?
skin infection
What taste buds are stimulated by lemonade?
Sweet and sour.
Which is the first structure stimulated in a reflex arc?
Sensory receptors.
Stimulation of sour receptors occurs in response to?
lemons

What are examples of taste receptors?
sweet, sour, salty, and bitter.
What receptors are stimulated by tissue damage?
Nociceptors are stimulated by tissue damage and are also called pain receptorsSourceIntroduction to the Human Bodyby Gerard Tortora and Bryan Derrickson
Where are taste buds?
They are the receptors in your mouth that give you taste, like sour and sweet.
