Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) has outshined serotonin as the most likely key neurotransmitter passing on the sense of taste from taste bud cells to primary afferent gustatory nerve fibers, researchers ...

These so-called tuft cells resemble taste bud cells and are not originally found in the lungs. They can be found in the trachea, but the researchers suggest that the presence of tuft cells in the ...

Taste receptor cells are located in taste buds on the tongue and in the throat. These cells contain the receptors that detect taste stimuli: sweet, sour, salty, bitter and savory. Each taste ...

The tongue is covered in lots of little bumps. On the walls and grooves of these bumps are thousands of tiny taste buds, too small for the human eye to see. The buds sense the taste of everything ...
