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.
Taste receptor cells sample oral concentrations of a large number of small molecules and report a sensation of taste to centers in the brainstem. In most animals, including humans, taste buds are most prevalent on small pegs of epithelium on the tongue called papillae.he taste receptor cells within a bud are arranged such that their tips form a small taste pore, and through this pore extend microvilli from the taste cells. The microvilli of the taste cells bear taste receptors.
