PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The average person has about 10, 000 taste buds and they’re replaced every 2 weeks or so. But as a person ages, some of those taste cells don’t get replaced. An older person may only have 5, 000 working taste buds. That’s why certain foods may taste stronger to you than they do to adults.

Detailed explanation-2: -But the real winner when it comes to taste sensitivity is the catfish. These whiskered bottom-dwellers typically have more than 100, 000 taste buds that line their body and are concentrated around their mouths. An advanced sense of taste is critical for catfish because they hunt in murky waters where visibility is low.
