Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The average adult has anywhere from 2, 000 to 10, 000 taste buds. We lose taste buds as we age, which means that children have more taste buds than adults.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many of the small bumps on the tip of your tongue contain taste buds. At birth, you have about 10, 000 taste buds, but after age 50, you may start to lose them. When the taste cells are stimulated, they send messages through three specialized taste nerves to the brain, where specific tastes are identified.
