Preferred term

gustatory system  

Definition

  • The gustatory system utilizes taste receptors in the oral cavity to differentiate various stimuli through several neurological pathways. The gustatory system is also intricately linked to many of the physiological responses that control gastric secretions, electrolyte balance and the avoidance of toxins.
