Distribution of calmodulin in taste buds

Life Sciences, 1985
Calmodulin is higher in particulate fractions from bovine taste buds containing taste bud membranes which specifically bind sweet tastants compared to corresponding fractions from control non-taste bud bearing lingual epithelial tissue. As biochemical purity (i.e., membrane enzyme marker activity) of these membrane enriched fractions increased (P4B ...

Denervation of taste buds in the rabbit

American Journal of Anatomy, 1970
AbstractTwenty‐five rabbits were used to study the effect of glossopharyngeal nerve transection upon the number, size and cellular constitution of the taste buds. The glossopharyngeal nerve was cut on one side, the other being left undisturbed as a control.

Fine structure of the taste bud

Journal of Ultrastructure Research, 1965
An electron microscope study on the taste bud in the fungiform papilla of the adult rat tongue was performed. Four cell types, classified according to their location, morphology, and relation to intraepithelial nerve processes, are described. These are the peripheral, basal, type I (dark), and type II (light) cells. The peripheral cells are located on

Studies on the Innervation of Taste Buds

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1967
The innervation of the taste buds has during the last years been the subject of extensive interest from a structural viewpoint. From a functional point of view, too, an increased interest of the problem has aroused.At the great numbers of otosclerotic operations that now is performed the chorda tympani in not few cases is injured and taste disturbances

Nerve Connexions of Taste-Buds

Nature, 1950
THE very interesting nerve connexions of the taste-buds in the pig do not appear to have attracted attention. In this animal the taste-buds are almost entirely concentrated in the circumvallate papillae, of which there is but one on each side. This is quite a large structure, about 0.5 cm. across, and contains about five hundred buds.

Taste Buds: Development and Evolution

Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2004
The gustatory system in vertebrates comprises peripheral receptors (taste buds), innervated by three cranial nerves (VII, IX, and X), and a series of central neural centers and pathways. All vertebrates, with the exception of hagfishes, have taste buds.

Intragemmal spaces in taste buds

Zeitschrift f�r Zellforschung und Mikroskopische Anatomie, 1965
Empty spaces are seen under both light and electron microscopes inside the taste buds of the dog lingual circumvallate papillae. They average 10 μ in diameter and 20 μ in length. Lacking endothelial lining, they are bordered directly by cell membranes of neighboring bud cells, and thus represent enlarged intercellular spaces.

Synaptic Transmission at Taste Buds

Nature, 1964
PREVIOUS investigations have shown that a variety of sensory receptors can be stimulated by the application of acetylcholine1, this sensitivity being enhanced in mechanoreceptors by the addition of 10−5 g/ml. physostigmine. Excitation by acetylcholine was blocked by tubocurarine or hexamethonium (10−7–10−5 g/ml.)2, but the response of the receptor to ...

Taste: Vertebrate Taste Bud Physiology

, 2009
Taste buds are the peripheral sensory organs for gustation, the chemical sense that guides humans and nonhuman animals to determine the nutritive and hedonic values of ingested foods and to avoid consumption of potentially harmful substances.

Taste: Mammalian Taste Bud Physiology ☆

, 2017
The gustatory system informs humans and nonhuman animals about the nutritive and hedonic values of foods and beverages. Taste also prevents us from consuming potentially harmful substances.
