Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Taste buds are sensory end organs that are located in the oral epithelium (BOX 1). The receptors on the chemosensitive apical tips of taste bud cells confer specificity to gustatory stimuli. Taste receptors come in many types, including several classes of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and ion channels (FIG.
Detailed explanation-2: -Chemoreceptors play a major role in the senses of taste and smell. All chemoreceptors are stimulated by the presence of chemicals.
