    Foliate
  13. Foliate papillae are on the ____ walls of the tongue.
    side
  14. ____ papillae are numerous and mushroom shaped.
    Fungiform
  15. Each taste bud consists of an arrangement of ___ cells and ____ cells, which are both modified epithelial cells.

    Gustatory cells (taste cells) are the actual receptor cells.
    The microvilli (gustatory ___ ) penetrate the epithelial surface through an opening called a ____ .
    • basal
    • gustatory
    • hairs
    • taste pore
  16. When tasting pure solutions taste sensations can be grouped into one of five qualities:
    sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami.

    -Sweet receptors respond to sugars, saccharine, lead salts and some amino acids.
    -___ receptors are activated by hydrogen ion and blockade of K+ or Na+ channels.
    -Bitter taste is elicited by alkaloids (caffeine) and other substances such as aspirin.
    -Salty taste is due to an influx of metal ions, particularly Na+ through Na+ channels.
    -_____taste is elicited by amino acid glutamate, which is responsible for the "meat taste" and monosodium glutamate (MSG).
    Sour

    Umami
  17. -Sweet receptors respond to sugars, saccharine, lead salts and some amino acids.
    -Sour receptors are activated by ____ ion and blockade of K+ or Na+ channels.
