The taste cells are modified epithelial cells that function as sensory receptors. About 50-60 taste cells are located in pear-shaped taste buds and the taste cells through microvilli project into a taste pore.
Taste and smell are the principal systems for distinguishing flavors. However, tactile, thermal, and nociceptive sensory input from the oral mucosa contributes to food quality. Saliva also is an important factor in maintaining acuity of taste receptor cells (Figure 9.1).oltage-gated channel proteins for Na + , K + & Ca 2+ are present in the plasma membrane with the K + -gated channel proteins located in larger numbers on the apical membrane of the taste cells. Synaptic vesicles are present near the apex and the basal region in many taste cells.
