Detailed explanation-1: -Sweet, sour, salty, bitter and savory tastes can actually be sensed by all parts of the tongue. Only the sides of the tongue are more sensitive than the middle overall. This is true of all tastes – with one exception: the back of our tongue is very sensitive to bitter tastes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Taste is the sensation that occurs in the mouth when a substance reacts chemically with taste receptor cells located on taste buds or papillae (Figure 3.5. 3). Taste determines flavors of foods. Humans have taste receptors on taste buds in the upper surface of the tongue and the epiglottis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Taste is sensed by chemosensory receptors known as taste buds. Taste buds themselves consist of columnar cells arranged circumferentially to form a single “taste pore” between them and microvilli extending from the columnar cells arranged around this pore.
