gustatory cell
A gustatory cell, also known as a taste cell, is a specific type of cell located within the taste buds on the tongue and mouth that is responsible for the sensation of taste. These cells detect dissolved chemicals in the saliva which leads to the sense of taste, and they can recognize the five basic tastes: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami. They are replaced approximately every 10 to 14 days because of their constant exposure to food, drinks, and other substances in the mouth.
