Their main function is to notice food when drinking. There are also fewer as a person ages.
im gonna be taking a shot in the dark, but im guessing like 10,000

The organs of taste are the taste buds. These are mostly located on the tongue but they are also present on roof of the mouth and the inside of cheeks, and a few are located in the lower pharynx (Throat) and epiglottis. There are two main pairs of cranial nerves associated with taste which transmit information from the tongue - the facial nerve (VII) and the glossopharyngeal nerve (IX) The vagus nerve (X) also transmits information from the few taste buds in the epiglottis and lower pharynx
Auditory, Glossopharyngeal, Hypoglossal
