AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Taste buds are the peripheral organs of gustation and are located mainly in the tongue epithelium, although they are also present elsewhere in the oral cavity.

Detailed explanation-2: -Taste receptors are found on the upper surface of special cells called taste cells. Many taste cells group together to form an onion-like structure known as a taste bud. Thousands of taste buds are found in nipple-like structures (called papillae) on the upper surface of the tongue.

Detailed explanation-3: -Taste buds exist primarily in the small bumps on your tongue, called papillae. They also are present in other parts of the mouth, like the palate and throat.

Detailed explanation-4: -Taste buds present in different papillae in tongue and palate contain taste receptor cells (TRC) which contain taste G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).
