What is another word for taste cell?
Pronunciation: [tˈe͡ɪst sˈɛl] (IPA) 
Taste cells are an essential component of our sense of taste. They are located in the taste buds on the tongue and are responsible for identifying the five basic tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. There are several synonyms for the term 'taste cell,' including gustatory receptor cells, chemoreceptors, and taste receptor cells. Gustatory receptor cells receive and interpret chemical signals from food molecules in the mouth, triggering the sensation of taste. Chemoreceptors are cells that detect chemical signals from the environment, including those that produce the sensation of taste. Finally, taste receptor cells are specialized sensory cells responsible for detecting and transmitting signals related to taste. Overall, these terms all refer to the same group of cells responsible for our sense of taste.
