there are distinct regions on the tongue where the main tastes are
recognized .
the tongue is covered with small bumps, called taste buds, that are
grouped together in areas with different functions. These taste buds react to simple
tastes and pass messages to the brain.
taste buds on the tip on the tongue detect sweet tastes and those at the
back of the tongue detect bitter tastes. Groups of taste buds at the side of the
tongue measure sour and salty tastes. The taste of any food is a combination of
these four basic tastes .
these taste buds, or flavor receptors, transmit the different taste
information as a message to the brain. It is the brain which processes the
information and tells us what food is actually in our mouths.
we each have around 10,000 taste buds on our tongues. As we grow older,
our taste buds become less sensitive. This is one reason why elderly people may no
longer enjoy their food so much
