Answer :
the sensation of taste involves chemicals binding to microvilli.
A cluster of gustatory receptors (taste cells) within the tongue's papillae, or bumps, is known as a taste bud. The taste buds are made up of groups of 50 to 150 columnar taste receptor cells that are grouped together like banana clusters. A bud's taste receptor cells are arranged so that their tips form a small taste pore, and microvilli from the taste cells extend through this pore. Taste receptors are located in the taste cells' microvilli.
Although the taste cells' apical microvilli contain the majority of the receptor molecules that bind various tastants, the transduction machinery involves ion channels on both the apical and basolateral membranes. Taste cells typically have channels on the basolateral side of their axonal membranes. When chemical stimuli interact with taste cells, voltage-gated Na+, K+, and Ca2+ channels generate depolarizing potentials. Action potentials are elicited in the afferent axons as a result of the resulting receptor potentials, which raise Ca2+ to levels sufficient for synaptic transmission and fusion of synaptic vesicles.
