# Taste_Receptors
# Taste_Buds -
* The sense of taste is mediated by taste receptor cells which are bundled in clusters called taste buds.
* When food or other substances enter the mouth, molecules interact with saliva and are bound to taste receptors in the oral cavity and other locations.
* Beyond the papillae, taste receptors are also on the palate and early parts of the digestive system like the larynx and upper oesophagus.
* Taste buds are composed of groups of between 50 and 150 columnar taste receptor cells bundled together like a cluster of bananas.
* When taste cells are stimulated by binding of chemicals to their receptors, they transmit a signal to the brain.
* Roughly one in four people is a "supertaster" that is several times more sensitive to bitter and other tastes than those that taste poorly.
* In addition to signal transduction by taste receptor cells, it is also clear that the sense of smell profoundly affects the sensation of taste.
