Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Taste receptors are activated by chemical substances dissolved in saliva that interact with specific receptor cells on the taste buds. This stimulus is then transmitted through nerve fibers to the brain, which interprets the sensation as taste. Electromagnetic energy, airborne proprioceptors, and nociceptors are not relevant to the sense of taste.
