Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Type 1 taste receptors (T1Rs) guide the consumption of sweet and savory foods. T1Rs are expressed in non-oral tissues, where they are thought to stimulate absorptive and hormonal responses to ingested foods. Mice lacking T1Rs are partially protected against diet-induced obesity and hyperinsulinemia.
Detailed explanation-2: -What structures are involved in taking the sense of taste from the taste buds to the brain? The sense of taste travels through the facial nerves, glossopharyngeal nerves and vagus nerves to the medulla oblongata.
