What is the pathway of taste starting from the taste buds?
The pathway of taste starts with taste buds located on the tongue and other parts of the mouth. These taste buds contain taste receptor cells that detect different taste qualities (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami). When these receptor cells are stimulated, they send signals to the brain via the gustatory pathway, which involves cranial nerves and taste processing areas in the brain, allowing us to perceive taste.
