Hydrogen ions move through apical channels into taste cells, leading to depolarization, calcium influx, and neurotransmitter release.
Les ions hydrogène entrent dans les cellules gustatives par des canaux apicaux, entraînant une dépolarisation, un afflux de calcium et la libération de neurotransmetteurs.
