Each is identified by different taste buds, as shown in this illustration.taste bud (tāst) Any of numerous sense organs on the tongues of most vertebrate animals that are sensitive to four types of taste: sweet, sour, salty, or bitter.Thesaurus| Noun | 1. |  taste bud - an oval sensory end organ on the surface of the tonguegustatory organ, tastebudneuroepithelium - epithelium associated with special sense organs and containing sensory nerve endingschemoreceptor - a sensory receptor that responds to chemical stimuliglossa, lingua, tongue, clapper - a mobile mass of muscular tissue covered with mucous membrane and located in the oral cavityepiglottis - a flap of cartilage that covers the windpipe while swallowinggustatory cell, taste cell - an epithelial cell in a taste bud that activates sensory fibers of the facial nerve or the glossopharyngeal nerve or the vagus nervepalate, roof of the mouth - the upper surface of the mouth that separates the oral and nasal cavitiespharynx, throat - the passage to the stomach and lungs; in the front part of the neck below the chin and above the collarbone |
Translationstaste bud
taste bud any of the elevated oval-shaped sensory end organs on the surface of the tongue, by means of which the sensation of taste is experienced taste bud[′tāst ‚bəd] (anatomy) An end organ consisting of goblet-shaped clusters of elongate cells with microvilli on the distal end to mediate the sense of taste. taste bud
taste budone of a number of flask-shaped cell nests located in the epithelium of vallate, fungiform, and foliate papillae of the tongue and also in the soft palate, epiglottis, and posterior wall of the pharynx; it consists of sustentacular, gustatory, and basal cells between which the intragemmal sensory nerve fibers terminate. There are five basic types of taste, each exemplified by the substance(s) in parenthesis after their types: bitter (quinine), salty (NaCl), sour (HCl), sweet (sugars and artificial sweeteners), and umami (glutamic acid). Synonym(s): caliculus gustatorius, gustatory bud, organ of taste, Schwalbe corpuscle, taste bulb, taste corpuscletaste budn. Any of numerous spherical or ovoid clusters of receptor cells found mainly in the epithelium of the tongue and constituting the end organs of the sense of taste.taste bud (tāst bŭd) One of a number of flask-shaped cell nests located in the epithelium of vallate, fungiform, and foliate papillae of the tongue and also in the soft palate, epiglottis, and posterior wall of the pharynx; it consists of sustentacular, gustatory, and basal cells between which the intragemmal sensory nerve fibers terminate. taste bud One of the many spherical nests of cells containing specialized nerve endings distributed over the edges and base of the tongue. The taste buds respond to the crude flavours of substances dissolved in saliva. See also TASTE. Fig. 293 Taste bud . Cross section of the human tongue. taste bud a receptor organ of taste that contains groups of slender modified epithelial cells with hair-like microvilli zwhich are clustered in a small external pore. Taste buds are associated with the mouth in vertebrates, but in fish they also occur over the body surface and on the fins. They are found on the tarsi of some insects (e.g. DIPTERANS). Humans distinguish between sweet, salt, sour and bitter tastes, using taste buds in different locations on the tongue, sweet on the front, sour on the sides, bitter on the back and salt all over. Taste depends on the relative activity of neurones that innervate the taste buds and not on any structural differences in the buds.Schwalbe, Gustav A., German anatomist, 1844-1916. Schwalbe corpuscle - Synonym(s): taste budSchwalbe fissureSchwalbe foramenSchwalbe membraneSchwalbe nucleusSchwalbe ring - the periphery of the cornea. Synonym(s): anterior limiting ringSchwalbe sheathSchwalbe spaces - the spaces within the internal sheath of the optic nerve filled with cerebrospinal fluid and continuous with the subarachnoid space. Synonym(s): intervaginal space of optic nervetaste bud (tāst bŭd) Several flask-shaped cell nests located in epithelium of vallate, fungiform, and foliate papillae of tongue and also in soft palate, and elsewhere. There are five basic taste classifications, each exemplified by substance(s) in parenthesis after their types: bitter (quinine), salty (NaCl), sour (HCl), sweet (sugars and artificial sweeteners), and umami (glutamic acid). taste bud
