- Taste buds are sensory receptors for taste located on the tongue. When a person eats a spicy food, receptors on the tongue pick up a stimulus. The stimulus initiates the movement of ions across the membrane. If the threshold level is reached, an action potential is generated and a signal is sent to the brain telling the brain that the food is spicy. The reason that some individuals have a higher tolerance to spicy food than others is due to a difference in the a. duration of the refractory period b. number of Na+/K+ ion exchange pumps c. strength of the stimulus d. threshold levelarrow_forwardSome researchers hypothesize that activity in certain regions of the brain represents the subjective value of an object being considered (meaning that the activity level in the brain region corresponds to how valuable the object is). (a) name a brain region that might represent the subjective value of an object being considered, such as a donut, and explain a research finding that supports your answer. (b) name a general factor that would influence the response of this brain region when a person views the donut (and state whether it would increase activity in the brain region or decrease it)arrow_forwardRollercoasters and tilt-a-whirls are notorious for inducing nausea, but some people get similar problems from the little swerves and dips of a journey by car, boat, or plane.

The different taste qualities (sweet, sour, bitter, salt, umami) each have their own area of the tongue that is most sensitive to them. Roger is enjoying a juicy steak from Jocko's. It is likely that the steak is activating many of his umami receptors. People who are "supertasters" tend to like bitter tastes better than most people.arrow_forwardWhat are receptors?
