What are the main parts of the human tongue?
The tongue is a muscular organ in the mouth. The tongue is covered with moist, pink tissue called mucosa. Tiny bumps called papillae give the tongue its rough texture. Thousands of taste buds cover the surfaces of the papillae. Taste buds are collections of nerve-like cells that connect to nerves running into the brain. The tongue is anchored to the mouth by webs of tough tissue and mucosa. The tether holding down the front of the tongue is called the frenum. In the back of the mouth, the tongue is anchored into the hyoid bone. The tongue is vital for chewing and swallowing food, as well as for speech. The four common tastes are sweet, sour, bitter, and salty. A fifth taste, called umami, results from tasting glutamate (present in MSG). The tongue has many nerves that help detect and transmit taste signals to the brain. Because of this, all parts of the tongue can detect these four common tastes; the commonly described "taste map" of the tongue doesn't really exist.

Where is taste mostly pronounced in the tongue?
A 1901 study showed that the back of the tongue tasted the bitter, the sides the sour, the front the sweet, and so on. Spicy was not one of the 4 flavors described in that study . . . The newer studies of the tongue with regard to taste have shown that the entire front, top, sides, and back are pretty much equal in what they taste; however, it has been shown that certain parts of the tongue are first to be able to taste certain flavors. But once there is enough concentration of a substance to be able to taste it at all, all parts of the tongue taste the substance pretty equally. The basic 4 "tastes": sweet, sour, salty, and bitter, are present all over the tongue.
