Abstract
The mean diameter of myelinated afferent fibers from the taste disk located on the frog tongue was 5.5μm within the fungiform papillae and increased at a rate of 0.8μm/cm length of fibers.A gradual increase in conduction velocity of single afferent fibers from the taste disk was confirmed electrophysiologically.
