The Receptor Membranes of Gustatory Cells are ________

Question

The receptor membranes of gustatory cells are ________.
A) gustatory hairs
B) taste buds
C) basal cells
D) fungiform papillae

Accepted Answer

Gustatory hairs are the receptor membranes of gustatory cells. They are located on the apical surface of the taste cells and are responsible for detecting the different tastes. The taste buds, basal cells, and fungiform papillae are all structures that contribute to the taste sensation, but they are not the actual receptor membranes.
