Taste buds, the main receptor for taste stimuli, are located in the papillae scattered throughout the mouth. They are so small that they are visible only with a microscope. A person's tongue has about 10,000 taste buds. The number of taste buds a person has decreases with age, especially after 65 or so.
In humans, the chemoreceptors that detect taste are called gustatory receptor cells. About 50 receptor cells, plus basal and supporting cells, make up one taste bud. Taste buds themselves are contained in goblet-shaped papillae -- the small bumps that dot your tongue.ifferent stimuli activate different sensory receptors. Chemical stimuli activate the chemoreceptors responsible for gustatory and olfactory perceptions. Because taste and smell are both reactions to the chemical makeup of solutions, the two senses are closely related.
