The gustatory system consists of taste receptor cells in taste buds.
Gustducin is a G protein associated with basic taste and the gustatory system.
The gustatory system allows humans to distinguish between safe and harmful food.
It is also interesting to note that many common medicines have a bitter taste if chewed; the gustatory system apparently interprets these compounds as poisons.
The gustatory system is the sensory system for the sense of taste.
CALHM1 is a key component of taste transduction in the gustatory system.
The olfactory system is highly connected to the limbic system and gustatory system.
Although this relation exists, the olfactory system is not affected by the gustatory system.
Unique to the olfactory and gustatory systems, at least in mammals, is the implementation of both peripheral and central mechanisms of action.
The two are often thought to work in conjunction, as in the gustatory system.
