Receptors which sense taste present on tongue are
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D Gustatory receptors
- Gustatory receptors are the taste receptors that are present on the surface of the tongue in taste buds. Each taste bud consists of many taste receptor cells. The opening of each taste bud, taste pore, allows fluid in the mouth to come in contact with receptor cells.
- The receptors for a sense of smell are located in the olfactory membrane in the roof of the nasal cavity and respond to thousands of different molecules.
- Statoreceptors are the receptors for a sense of balance and equilibrium while the tongue is the organ of taste.
- Phonoreceptors are the organ of the sense of hearing and are present in the inner ear.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
