Question
Chapter 10, Problem 17RA
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The process that does not take place by the stimulation of membrane protein receptors by binding to specific molecules in taste buds.
Introduction:
Tongue is a sensory organ that contains gustatory receptors determining the taste and the flavor of the food. The mouth contains five different types of taste cells present on the tongue which are salty, sweet, bitter, sour, and umami. Olfactory receptors (sense of smell) provide the perception of taste and flavor of the food.

Students have asked these similar questions
Which of these statements is not true with respect to olfaction?a. Olfactory sensation is relayed directly to the cerebral cortex withoutpassing through the thalamus.b. Olfactory neurons are replaced about every 2 months.c. The olfactory cortex is involved in the conscious perception of smell.d. The secondary olfactory areas are responsible for visceral andemotional reactions to odors.e. The olfactory cortex is in the occipital lobe of the cerebrum.
The first relay in the brain for nerves carrying taste information is:
a. the cerebral cortex
b. the hypothalamus
c. the orbital prefrontal cortex
d. the nucleus of the solitary tract
A single action potential in a somatic motoneuron produces a twitch in the muscle it innervates. Generation of sustained contraction is a product of that motoneuron producing multiple action potentials. What is a term used to describe this phenomenon?
a. Stretch reflex
b. Temporal summation
c. Spatial summation
d. Muscle fatigue
Taste buds on the surface of the tongue can detect a taste only when chemicals are dissolved in saliva so that chemoreceptors can start an impulse to the brain.
Which of the following statements is correct about the taste sensory pathway?
a. The temporal lobe of the cerebrum perceives the taste sensation.
b. Nerve impulses trigger taste buds and send information to the brain.
c. Taste buds sense taste, and the parietal lobe perceives taste.
d. The tip of the tongue senses sweet, and the periphery senses sour and salty flavours.
