1 If teams are tied in a category, each team gets an average of the point total. 2  Example: 2 teams tie for 1st place, each gets 11.5 points [(12+11) / 2 = 11.5]  League standings are updated after each day's games, so it's possible to see your score rise or fall in one or more categories each day.
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.
Gustatory receptor cells are found in the taste buds of fungiform, foliate, and circumvallate papillae located mainly on the tongue. The distribution of the different papillae on the tongue is shown in Figure 10-1.he receptor cells are really bipolar nerve cells and therefore unlike the receptor cells of the eye, ear, and tongue which are specialized epithelial cells. The olfactory receptor cells have their nuclei in the lower 2/3 of the epithelium, but their apical ends project to the surface.
