To date no specific receptor cell has been discovered for metallic tastes.]]> 2018-10-10 04:47:48 UTC https://padlet.com/eperri/5iovof0tfbiq/wish/291074630 Taste: eperri https://padlet.com/eperri/5iovof0tfbiq/wish/291074645 There is a common misperception that the word ‘taste’ refers to everything we experience when we eat or drink.  This isn’t actually true.

The word taste, or gustation, to give its full name, refers to what is detected by the taste cells, located on the front and back of the tongue and on the sides, back and roof of the mouth.  These receptor cells, or taste buds, bind with molecules from the food or drink being consumed and send signals to the brain.  The way our brains perceive these stimuli is what we refer to as taste, with there being five recognised basic tastes: salty, bitter, sweet, sour and umami.
