Question 10

Which statement most accurately describes how we interpret the sensation of taste?

Accepted Answer

A)  The taste buds contain microvilli that project into the taste pore.The molecules bind to receptor proteins located on the microvilli which send a nerve impulse to the brain for interpretation.
