Mucosa and taste buds of the human epiglottis.
The position of taste buds around the human mouth, pharynx and larynx is outlined in many texts. While their distribution, histological differences and taste sensitivity on the dorsum of the tongue are well described, extralingual taste buds are described in far less detail both in adults (Bannister, 1995) and neonates (Lalonde & Eglitis, 1961). Studies on a variety of grazing mammals (e.g. Bra...
متن کاملFine structure of taste buds located on the lamb epiglottis.
BACKGROUND Taste buds located on the aryepiglottal folds and laryngeal surface of the epiglottis are the principal receptors responsible for the initiation of the laryngeal chemoreflex. In contrast to the wealth of information available concerning the ultrastructure of oral taste buds, little comparable data exists for taste buds located at the entrance to the larynx. Therefore, the present stu...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical Analysis of Human Vallate Taste Buds.
The morphology of the vallate papillae from postmortem human samples was investigated with immunohistochemistry. Microscopically, taste buds were present along the inner wall of the papilla, and in some cases in the outer wall as well. The typical taste cell markers PLCβ2, GNAT3 (gustducin) and the T1R3 receptor stain elongated cells in human taste buds consistent with the Type II cells in rode...
متن کاملTaste isn't just for taste buds anymore
Taste is a discriminative sense involving specialized receptor cells of the oral cavity (taste buds) and at least two distinct families of G protein-coupled receptor molecules that detect nutritionally important substances or potential toxins. Yet the receptor mechanisms that drive taste also are utilized by numerous systems throughout the body. How and why these so-called taste receptors are u...
متن کاملThe development of pharyngeal taste buds in Hucho taimen (Pallas, 1773) larvae
This study aims to investigate the relationship between the development of pharyngeal taste buds (TBs) and first feeding of Hucho taimen. Larvae were fed with live food (water flea and tubifex) for 8 weeks. TBs of larval pharynx were histologically examined using light microscopy during the rearing experiment. The results showed that the first few TBs primordia were visible within the pharynx 2...
