gustatory cell

Some, however, are found in the interior of the bud between the gustatory cells.

The bud is formed by two kinds of cells: supporting cells and gustatory cells.

Gustatory cells form on taste buds, specialized epithelial cells, and are generally turned over every ten days.

Gustatory cells are located on the surface of the tongue and adjacent portions of the pharynx and larynx.

The nerve fibrils after losing their medullary sheaths enter the taste bud, and end in fine extremities between the gustatory cells; other nerve fibrils ramify between the supporting cells and terminate in fine extremities; these, however, are believed to be nerves of ordinary sensation and not gustatory.
