What is Gustatory system?
The '''gustatory system''' is the [[sensory system]] for the [[sense]] of [[taste]]. == Function == The [[human body]] can be [[stumuli|stimulated]] by certain things. This stimuli is measured by [[sensory receptor]]s and the energy is converted to something our [[brain]] can understand. There are receptors in our tongue which can measure four main things. === Salt === This is the simplest receptor found in the mouth. === Sour === Sour tastes are usually received from [[acid]]ic [[chemical compound|compounds]]. === Bitter === Bitter tastes are important, since poisons are usually bitter and therefore we need to know whether or not to spit a bitter food out. This is the most complicated receptor found in the mouth. === Sweet === Food which has a lot of [[carbohydrate]]s such as [[glucose]] are sweet. [[Category:Sensory system]]
