Figure 23.2.Diagram of a tongue showing the distribution of various taste bud populations, which are found in the fungiform papillae on the anterior tongue, the vallate and foliate papillae on the posterior tongue. These taste buds are innervated by branches of the VIIth, IXth, and Xth cranial...
Figure 1. Diagram of a mammalian taste bud (lateral view). Taste buds on the tongue are embedded within papillae that are located on the anterior, lateral, and posterior parts of its dorsal and lateral surfaces. Fungiform papillae are mushroom-shaped structures located on the anterior two-thirds...
1.A small nipplelike projection, such as a protuberance on the skin, at the root of a hair or feather, or at the base of a developing tooth. 2.One of the small, round or cone-shaped protuberances on the top of the tongue that contain taste buds. ...
Tasting with our brains We’ve all seen the familiar tongue map, diagramming the receptors on our tongues into separate areas of taste. For years now, we’ve been told that we experience sweetness on the very tips of our tongues, bitterness towards the back and so on. But study leader C...
If you are a fitness fanatic on a low-calorie diet, your meal plan might list many tasteless foods. What if we have a special utility that can generate a mild electric current to stimulate the tongue and alter the taste, it will let you enjoy the flavor of low-calorie foods that contai...
1f). To identify the LRCs during regeneration, we injected BrdU, and GLx was performed on adult mice. The tongue tissues were collected at 2 and 6 weeks after GLx (Fig. 1j). Immunohistochemical staining revealed that a subset of K8-, gustducin-, and Snap25-positive taste receptor ...
It was found that (1) GLP-1 is locally synthesized in the subpopulations of taste bud cells (TBCs) in the tongue, (2) GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1 R) exists on the gustatory nerve fibres in close proximity to GLP-1-containing taste bud cells and (3) this paracrine GLP-1 signalling is ...
The binding poses of (A) NHDC, (B) RebC, (C) RebM, (D) S819, (E) Amiloride, and (F) Ace-K. The ligand is represented by green sticks, while the side chains forming hydrogen bonds are shown in cyan sticks with labels. The ligand interaction diagram can be found in Fig.S16....
Widely-targeted metabolomics was integrated with the e-tongue and multivariate regression to illustrate changes in chemical profiles and taste quality of Yunnan Arabica coffee beans, and elucidate relation of taste quality with chemical composition. We aim to provide comprehensive insight into the roles ...
The tongue hosts three types of taste papillae: fungiform on the anterior two-thirds of the tongue, foliate on the posterior lateral margins of the tongue, and circumvallate on the posterior midline. All three types develop in a similar fashion, beginning as epithelial thickenings, or placodes...
