Morphological investigations on the fungiform papilla of the frog (Rana pipiens) have shown that this taste organ contains two distinct populations of cells: associate and sensory. Messages received by the sensory cells are believed to be transmitted through the mediation of an adrenergic transmitter. This chemical was shown by fluorescence microscopy and electron histochemistry to be stored in synaptic granular vesicles which accumulate at the membrane of the cytoplasmic processes of the sensory cells in typical chemical synaptic complexes. The sensory cell cytoplasmic processes form the presynaptic component of these complexes whose post synaptic components are the nerve fibres supplying the taste buds. These sensory nerve fibres contain agranular vesticles and are probably cholinergic, since they show positive cholinesterase activity at the light and electron microscopical levels.
