Gustatory cell are the receptor cells which are located in the taste buds.
Supporting cell are the cells which divide and then differentiate into supporting cells and olfactory receptor neurons. Supporting cells support or sustain the olfactory receptors.
Basal cell is a large group of stem cells present in the tongue’s epithelium layer.
Stratified squamous epitheliums are the flat epithelial cells or tissue arranged in layers on the basal membrane. These are found on the upper surface of the tongue.
