Which of the following sense is detected by gustatory receptors?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Gustatory Receptors - Taste
Our body contains various types of sensory receptors that transmit external information to the brain.
Function: Gustatory receptors are primarily responsible for detecting taste.
Location: They are found in the taste buds located on the surface of our tongue.
Process: When we eat something, chemicals in the food come into contact with these receptors, generating a nerve impulse that allows the brain to perceive taste (sweet, sour, salty, bitter).
