Taste

TASTE,

Introduction:

The Taste Buds are a Sensory Organ. All the bumps on your tongue are called papillae. Scientist know the least about taste than any other sense. Taste buds have very sensitive tiny hairs.

What are the different tastes where are they found?

The tongue is split up into five different parts but there are four tastes. Bitter at the back, sour on both sides, sweet in the middle and sweet and salty right on the tip of your tongue.Taste buds are able to differentiate among different tastes through detecting interaction with different molecules or ions.

Why do we have a tongue?

Apart from helping us taste it also prevents us from swallowing poison, you can thank your taste buds for that. Controlled by eight muscles and four nerves, your tongue helps move foods and liquids down your esophagus.

How Does Tasting Work?

The little bumps on your tongue are papillae, most papillae contain taste buds. The tongue has 3,000 to 10,000 taste buds, taste buds have very  sensitive tiny hairs. There are between 2,000 and 5,000 taste buds that are located from the back to the front of the tongue. Others are located on the roof, sides and the back of the mouth and in the throat. Each taste contains 50 to 100 receptor cells.
