Difference between Sensory neuron and Taste receptor

Sensory neuron vs. Taste receptor

Sensory neurons also known as afferent neurons are neurons that convert a specific type of stimulus, via their receptors, into action potentials or graded potentials. A taste receptor is a type of receptor which facilitates the sensation of taste.

Similarities between Sensory neuron and Taste receptor

Sensory neuron and Taste receptor have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cranial nerves, Receptor (biochemistry), Taste bud, TRPM8.

Cranial nerves

Cranial nerves are the nerves that emerge directly from the brain (including the brainstem), in contrast to spinal nerves (which emerge from segments of the spinal cord).

Receptor (biochemistry)

In biochemistry and pharmacology, a receptor is a protein molecule that receives chemical signals from outside a cell.

Taste bud

Taste buds contain the taste receptor cells, which are also known as gustatory cells.

TRPM8

Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 8 (TRPM8), also known as the cold and menthol receptor 1 (CMR1), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TRPM8 gene.
