Describe the transduction process for gustatory signals for the experience of eating pretzels.
What will be an ideal response?
Taste receptors code for five qualities (sweetness, bitterness, sourness, saltiness, and umami). In this case, the salty receptors will activate. Specifically, these will be activated by the sodium chloride in the pretzels. The sodium will enter the taste cell and depolarize it, triggering an action potential to result in release of neurotransmitter.
