    7. Generation of a receptor potential begins when specialized areas called G protein receptor sites on the cell membranes or porelike ion channels in the covering gustatory hairs bind to taste-producing chemicals in the saliva. The nature and concentration of the chemicals that bind to either the G protein receptor sites or ion channels determine how fast the receptor potential is generated.…

    Food molecules stimulate these taste buds, which, in turn, send messages to the brain. The bitter taste buds are the most sensitive. Taste buds contain many receptor cells. These cells only live 1 to 2 weeks and then are replaced by new receptor cells. Each of these receptors in a taste bud responds best to one of the basic tastes (library.thinkquest.org). Studies on twins, siblings, parents and their children show the differences in the taste qualities, genetically. Twins are particularly useful for heritable estimates in taste research because of the degree of taste similarity that are genetically identical (monozygotic; MZ) and for twin pairs that are no more alike than siblings (dizygotic; DZ) (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). Taste disorders such as ageusia, hypogeusia, dysgeusia of phabtogeusia, parageusia, hypergeusia, and xerostomia all cause the food or drink to not taste properly and everything tastes the same or has a strange dirty…

    Scientists already know that people may have high taste sensitivity, moderate taste sensitivity, or low taste sensitivity. People who have high taste sensitivity will also tend to have a strong sense of smell as well. There are methods which can be used which can help to determine a person’s sensitivity to taste. One type of method used by researchers involves a chemical called 6-n-propylthiouracil, or PROP. During taste testing, a tiny amount is distributed and the taste tester will react depending on the sensitivity of their taste buds. People who have a strong sense of taste describe the taste of PROP as being very bitter, whereas people who have a mild sense of taste will not taste anything at all.…

    Before starting the four experiments, I had to remember that I had to keep in mind that there are five major senses that our bodies use; taste, smell, seeing and hearing. I also felt that it was extremely important to get a general understanding of what sensory adaptation means. Sensory adaptation is the process by which senses become less responsive to particular stimuli. Therefore, to activate the receptors a stronger stimulus is required and individual’s body receptors will to one type of stimulus at a time (Hersh, 2011).…
