Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gustatory cells, also known as taste cells, are the only cells in taste buds that have specialized receptor proteins that can detect different chemicals in food. When these receptors are activated, they create a receptor potential that generates an electrical signal that is transmitted to the brain via sensory nerve fibers.
