Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Umami receptors are responsible for detecting the taste of soy sauce, which is a rich and savory taste known as umami. Salt receptors detect salty tastes, papillae house taste buds but do not transduce taste on their own, and glossopharyngeal nerves are responsible for transmitting taste signals from the tongue to the brain but do not transduce taste themselves.
