- @Heading = Taste (Gustatory) Sense
-
- The sensory structures in man are the taste buds, clusters of cells contained
- in goblet-shaped structures (papillae) that open by a small pore to the mouth
- cavity.
-
- In man and other mammals, taste buds are located primarily in fungiform
- (mushroom-shaped), foliate, and circumvallate (walled-around) papillae of the
- tongue or in adjacent structures of the palate and throat. Many gustatory
- receptors in small papillae on the soft palate and back roof of the mouth in
- human adults are particularly sensitive to sour and bitter, whereas the tongue
- receptors are relatively more sensitive to sweet and salt.
-
- @Heading = Smell (Olfactory) Sense
-
- In mammals the olfactory receptors are located high in the nasal cavity. The
- yellow-pigmented <LPN1,3>olfactory membrane<LE> in humans covers about 2.5 square centimeters (0.4 square inch) on each side
- of the inner nose. The olfactory sense receptor is a long thin cell ending in
- several delicate hairs (cilia) that projects into and through the mucus that
- normally covers the nasal epithelium or lining. The end of each receptor
- narrows to a fine nerve fiber, which, along with many others, enters one of the
- two <LPN1,2>olfactory bulbs<LE> of the brain through the boney roof of the nasal cavity. There are also fibers
- which cross over from one <LPN1,2>olfactory bulb<LE> to the other.
