Do gustatory taste cells have BOTH chemoreceptors and mechanoreceptors? The chemoreceptors are responsible for receiving the signals that the saliva molecules send via action potentials, but there are also hair cells attached to the taste cells that detect movement?
Connoisseurs can recognize many varieties of cheese or wine by “tasting.” How can they do so when there are only a few types of taste receptors?
How do the olfactory bulbs of sheep compare to the olfactory bulbs of humans?
