The energy, from step 3, is given to activate the K +, potassium, protein channels . III . Part III shows the response of the taste cell . 5.

Object A is a taste bud, object B is one taste cell, and object C is a neuron attached to object B . I . Part I is the reception of a molecule . 1.

A related study found that endocannabinoids affect taste perception in taste cells In taste cells, endocannabinoids were shown to selectively enhance the strength of neural signaling for sweet tastes, whereas leptin decreased the strength of this same response.

It is a matter of debate whether each taste cell is tuned to one specific tastant or to several; Smith and Margolskee claim that " gustatory neurons typically respond to more than one kind of stimulus, [ a ] lthough each neuron responds most strongly to one tastant ".

Taste cells synapse with primary sensory axons that run in the chorda tympani and greater superficial petrosal branches of the facial nerve ( cranial nerve VII ), the lingual branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve ( cranial nerve IX ), and the superior laryngeal branch of the vagus nerve ( Cranial nerve X ) to innervate the taste buds in the tongue, palate, epiglottis, and esophagus respectively.
