Question

With the help of a simple diagram, show the location of four taste receptors in human beings.

Answer 1

• Taste buds contain the taste receptor cells, which are also known as gustatory cells.
• The taste receptors are located around the small structures known as papillae found on the upper surface of the tongue, soft palate, upper oesophagus, the cheek, and epiglottis. Hence, the location of four taste receptors in human beings are on the upper surface of the tongue, soft palate, upper oesophagus, the cheek, and epiglottis.
