There are four different groups of taste buds. These include sweet, salty, sour, and bitter. Taste buds are a sensory organ The bumps on the tongue are called papillae and these contain taste buds. The taste buds have microscopic hairs which send messages to the brain as to how something should taste. The normal person has about 10,000 taste buds and each of these are replaced ever two weeks. An adult only has on average only 5,000 taste buds.

The hairs on a spider's legs are used primarily to smell. Spiders don't have ears, noses or taste buds, so they rely on these hairs to sense their surroundings, if something is moving nearby, and if something is edible. These hairs are called thrichobotria.

Alkaloids excite gustatory hairs at the taste buds by interacting with taste receptors, inducing a variety of sensory responses depending on the specific alkaloid. This can result in bitter, sweet, or umami taste sensations.
