PSYCHOLOGY #6

TermDefinition
GUSTATION Starts with the physical stimulation of taste receptor cells in the mouth. The stimuli that produce taste sensations are chemical molecules in whatever you eat or drink.
TASTE RECEPTORS (also known as Gustatory Cells) The sensory receptors that detect the chemical molecules that enable taste. They are located within taste buds.50-150 Taste Receptors are found in every individual taste bud, Taste receptors have a limited lifespan of 10 days.
TASTE BUDS Most are located on the top of the tongue (inside the papillae) with some everywhere else. Humans are born with 8,000-10,000 taste buds (the number peaks in early childhood and then declines during adulthood).
PAPILLAE (The small bumps on your tongue) An individual Papilla may hold one or more taste buds
TASTE PORE On the surface of the tongue open into the taste bud, thereby connecting the surface of the tongue to the taste receptors within the taste buds.
TASTANT The dissolved chemical molecules that can be tasted.
GUSTATORY CORTEX A brain structure responsible for the perception of taste. It consists of two substructures: the anterior insula on the insular lobe and the frontal operculum on the inferior frontal gyrus of the frontal lobe.
