TØÑGÜË



Organ of taste (Gustatory).



4 primary tastes are sweet, salt, sour and bitter.



Taste buds (Gustato-receptors + supporting cells) are seen around the

bases of taste papillae. Nose & tongue are chemoreceptors (detect

dissolved chemicals). Senses of taste & smell are functionally similar

and interrelated. The brain integrates different input from taste buds

and a complex flavour is perceived.

cold, touch, pain & pressure.
