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: -Taste signals begin when food particles are sensed by receptor proteins on the taste bud cells. When the receptor proteins sense different kinds of particles, they order their taste bud cell to send a small current to the nervous system, which relays the impulse to the brain.
