Na+ or K+ passes through ion channels into taste cells, causing depolarization and calcium influx, which triggers neurotransmitter release.
Le Na+ ou le K+ traverse les canaux ioniques vers les cellules gustatives, provoquant une dépolarisation et un afflux de calcium, ce qui déclenche la libération de neurotransmetteurs.
