<div style='text-align:justify;'>Each taste bud comprises 50-100 taste cells that represent all five flavors. The apical surface of every taste cell is covered in receptors. These are transmembrane proteins that allow the chemicals that cause the flavors of sweet, bitter, and umami to bind to the ions that provide the taste of salt.

It appears that a single taste cell can only express one type of receptor (except for bitter receptors). Action potentials in a neighboring sensory neuron that connects to the brain are set off by a stimulated taste receptor cell. However, in each of the several taste buds, a single sensory neuron can connect to a number of taste cells. The brain is where all sensations, including taste, originate. </div>
